I had never heard of him until I saw so many comments upon his death. Now I am very sad for having not been aware of him when he was alive.

I’m a fan of Jimmy Carr (defininitly not to everyone’s taste, even mine sometimes), so I’ve watched videos of the panel shows he does and Sean Lock is a regular on them. Really funny stuff.

I’ve been a huge fan of 8 out of 10 Cats and Cats Do Countdown for a long time.
There are a ton of brilliant jokes and performances to be found all over the place in those episodes.
If you’re looking to check them out, most episodes can be found easily on youtube, and you really can’t go wrong with any season/episode.

Maybe just “Hold my beer”
The best thing I ever did on Facebook was when I managed to train the algorithm to think that I was exclusively interested in British panel shows and magic tricks. It regularly served me up great clips from 8 Out of 10 Cats, and Sean Lock was always good for a laugh. Sad to hear he’s gone.

That’s very sad news.
I always remember a Charlie Watts quip from a documentary about the Stones. They were in a parking lot, waiting for a bus or something, and Charlie was asked (something like) what it has been like to have been a rockstar for so long.
Me, paraphrasing his answer:
“Look at us now. What are we doing? We’re just standing around. I think I’ve spent a couple of hours being a rockstar and 40-odd years just standing around.”
RIP

Pretty much true, it seems.
Keith Richards offered more details in his memoir, noting that right before the incident, a drunken Jagger further provoked Watts by calling his hotel room and repeatedly shouting the words “where’s my drummer” on the phone. As quoted by Far Out Magazine, a dressed-to-the-nines Watts confronted Jagger in his room, told him to “never call me your drummer again,” and punched the singer so hard that he “fell back onto a silver platter of smoked salmon on the table.”
