Comedy fans on here will be sad to hear the news that Ian Cognito passed away last night. A great friend of mine and a fantastic comedian who will be sorely missed on the circuit. His favourite heckle put down of mine - “if Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider and became a spider you must have been bitten by a radioactive cunt!”.
Apparently his act included jokes about what would happen if he died on stage. He then collapsed and people thought it was part of the act and didn't help him.
Sorry for your loss John. Hopefully no lame Tommy Cooper die-on-stage comparison gags. Good comedians are so important. My man was the late, great Bill Hicks
