[Veteran stand-up comedian Ian Cognito has died on-stage during a performance.
The 60-year-old comic sat down on a stool while breathing heavily, before falling silent for five minutes during his show on Thursday.
Compere Andrew Bird said the crowd at the The Atic bar in Bicester had thought it was a joke, and continued to laugh, unaware something was wrong.
South Central Ambulance Service confirmed Cognito was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mr Bird, who runs the Lone Wolf Comedy Club event at the venue, said Cognito had not been feeling well before the gig started, but insisted on going on-stage.
"He was like his old self, his voice was loud. I was thinking 'he's having such a good gig'," Mr Bird said.]

He was on heart meds apparently, when your numbers up that's it

His death is spookily similar to Tommy Cooper

R.I.P

Yes and no, lots of people survive heart attacks sometimes they get the wrong number.

Sounds like a drag queens name

Yes I know lots of people survive heart attacks, but the fact remains he didn't despite being on medication for it, so his number was up in my book

Yes but he may have needed other tablets.
As well.

That's not much use to him now :laugh:

Maybe it was heart failure, rather than a heart attack.
If he sat quietly and died then it sounds feasible.
R.I.P.

This is the Problem
with many 60 year olds
they need medicals more

Yeah I heard somewhere that most heart attacks are survived (assuming they receive medical attention etc), but heart failures/cardiac arrests are the real killers.

he died doing what he loved x

What is this book :suspect:... This ticking clock... This list of the damned :suspect:

Cherie is the grim reaper confirmed?

No one wants to die

How ridiculous

:laugh: it's me...let me check my book as to your situation

best ways to meet your fate

Inthe TL hasn't movd for 30 mins

Isn't this how Sid James died? On stage and everyone thought it was part of the act?

You're thinking of Tommy Cooper

Nope.
