Yeah, saw this. Very sad.
I always found him hilarious on Cats does Countdown, particularly when he was ripping into Jimmy Carr.

he was one of funnier people on the show
I thought he had lost a fair amount of weight - no idea if that was linked to his cancer

This has started my day with a bucket of shit.
I liked him a lot, funny, off the wall, would go to some great (worthwhile) lengths for a laugh. One of the ones I subscribe to ( along with Jeremy Hardy and a select bunch of others) in the hope something they did is repeated.
Fuck. So sorry for those close to him.

They all loved him as well
I remember reading an interview with Harry Hill a couple of years ago who said that when Sean was on stage all the other comedians on the bill would come out to watch him.

After a day of this
I now realise that I missed so much of him. I had no idea he was perm on the 8/10 thing. I avoided the show, completely, because of Carr. But I've seen some great stuff. The tiger who came for a pint is just lovely. Fuck, there was so much more.
