Sean Hughes RIP

[The Man The Legend]

Another reminder of mortality.

Bloody hell, 51. RIP.

John Dunsworth of Mr Lahey fame from the Trailer Park Boys has passed away too. What a shite day for comedy.

The shitwinds have certainly been blowing today. I might have a little drinky-poos.

Holy crap! Sad news!

RIP, too young

 

[Junior Birdman]

I loved it, even though it was a rip-off of It's Garry Shandling's Show (also RIP). Thanks to Shandling, Sean Hughes, and Reeves and Mortimer, for a while back then avant-garde TV comedy changed the landscape.

I used to watch that when I was a bairn (on a Sunday I think). I can still remember the theme tune, which is now stuck in my head!

He aged badly in the last five years. Almost recognisable. Huge talent and a sad loss.

Nice bloke. Often saw him in the park with his two dogs. My pooch was obsessed with his black one that wore a red neckerchief; it must have smelled nice!
We saw Sean do a stand-up show a few years back about the death of his father that was heart-rending, but funny at the same time. He was certainly a talent, and his anarchic stuff on Buzzcocks etc. was great.
RIP.

 

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

Remember really liking Seans show when it was on first, bought the dvd recently and its awful! Dunno if it was just the times or what but its aged really badly.

No age at all, he went to the same school as me in Dublin, few years ahead of me though

We watched one as a tribute to the lad when the news came through, you're right in that it's not aged well.

Saw him when I was a bit pissed before a 0-3 defeat at Crystal Palace (Breen sent off?) years ago and slurred "Hi Sean!" - he wasn't particularly friendly, even though given what we now know about the lad, he was probably as shit-faced as I was.

I used to watch that when I was a bairn (on a Sunday I think). I can still remember the theme tune, which is now stuck in my head!

I can't remember Gary Shandling dying. Just googled it, Fuck

RIP to the bloke, a sad end.
On another note, Sean’s Show was the most excruciatingly bad piece of television I ever had the misfortune to watch (for all of ten minutes before I turned it off).
