Cancer at 58, shocking. For me he was one of the best of modern comedians. Also he managed to walk the line of being extremely funny, clever, and quick, whilst being neither offensive nor "woke", as good comedy should be.
Some great one liners too, such as "sharks can only hurt you when you are wet".

I was watching him on YouTube yesterday on 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown. He was very very funny, even when was not saying anything. So much talent. Thank you for the laughs.
Wow, what a shock, a funny intelligent man. RIP
Seen on my news feed - that's a shock.
Liked his style of comedy and his easy delivery.

Such a shame to see him go. He was clearly not well on 8/10 cats for some time.
If you've never seen it, his 15 Stories High is brilliant.
That was such a shock to read that headline. A very funny guy.
T.G.
Terrible news, I met him briefly a few years ago in the green room back stage after an 8 out of 10 Cats recording, he was a lovely Man and a very original Comedian
RIP Sean
58 is no age at all. Very sad.
Gutted. 58 is no age at all and what a funny man. I had no idea he was poorly. RIP
Such a shame. Seen him live a couple of times. If you ever get a chance, you must watch his piece on celebrities, particularly Madonna, it was hysterical and one of the funniest sets I’ve ever seen.
I only knew him from 8OO10CDC, loved his humour. RIP.
very sad to hear that, too young
Very sad.. a genuinely extremely funny guy. I used to love it when he’d rip the mickey out of Jon Richardson.
Poor chap - only 58 years old.
Very sad - RIP Sean. Such a good comedian and foil for Jimmy Carr.
carrot in a box is just so very funny (warning sweary language)

Very sad news.
Me too, for some reason the Channel 4 produced highlight videos started appearing on my YouTube feed at the weekend and I chose to rewatch them…he was even entertaining just laughing at other peoples jokes.Originally Posted by prexelor
‘That’s a challenging w*nk’ 😂
Spoilt my day to hear that he's gone. Really liked him.
Gutted. 58 is far to young. Loved his comedic style. RIP.

^That was hilarious and completely unexpected. Rachel bent backwards laughing and Jimmy is covering his face laughing. Sean went a bit red and raised his hands.
Extremely talented, a sad loss.
I loved carrot in a box when I first saw it & still laugh at it.
Not seen the Viking helmet comment before, but amazing that he just comes out with it.
That's the clip that came straight to mind thinking of him
Such a shame to see him go. He was clearly not well on 8/10 cats for some time.

What a shame RIP
Such a shame. One of my favourite comedians.
RIP
It's just a matter of time...
Such sad news, he was a very funny man, one of the best.
Loved him whenever he was bouncing off Vic Reeves.
Ross
Very sad news.
Just heard and shocked.
A great comedian, awesome on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown.
RIP.
Keith.

Terrible news, such a funny funny man. Some of the stuff he did on 8 out of 10 was just superb.
I just want to point out I quoted a one liner before I spotted someone had already posted a link to the segment, it was simply the first funny moment I thought of.
I shall continue to rewatch his moments tonight after work, I remember carrot in a box from when it was first shown but can’t remember why it came about but I see Jon Richardson mentions it in his tribute. I shall rewatch ‘rectum of the year’, his picture books, and after I’ve stopped eating my dinner, his eating whelks.
And even funnier when he blurted out something inappropriate (even if it were true) ....

Indeed a very funny man, who will be sorely missed by his legions of fans. R.I.P. Sean.
A sad day indeed for British comedy. He was a modern day comedy genius.
I was shocked when I saw this thread, what a very sad loss. He seemed such a laid back, likeable person with a wicked sense of humour. RIP Sean.
Sad news, indeed.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Very sad news , RIP
RIP Sean.
He will be missed. Sad news indeed.
Very funny man, and will be missed, loved his stand up.
Really sad and gutted to hear this today. He was a genius of a comedian and the clear star of 8 out 10 Cats does Countdown. I watch clips of his often on Facebook / YouTube and still find them funny after many watches.
The Tiger who Went for a Pint, Cyril the Screw, Gritty Adult Colouring Books and the Madonna stand up sketch are personal highlights for me. Absolutely hilarious.

Between him and Rob Bryden for funniest mainstream comedian at present.
His stand up stuff was laugh out loud for me
RIP
So sad, such a funny guy. I was crying at his Seal clubbing sketch and rectum of the year. A comedy genius. RIP.
It’s just terrible news
Cancer is a huge killer in my family
He was one of the funniest guys on tv
I hope he meets the other good ones in comedy heaven

Channel 4 tribute tomorrow night, Keep it Light followed by 'a classic episode of Cats does Countdown'
Terrible news, it was a real shock today when we heard. I’m currently shooting a sitcom with some people who knew him very well, there were tears on set today.
Just watched an episode of 15 Storeys High, to mark Sean's passing. Very sad.
Didn't know he'd been ill, what a shock. RIP indeed.
F.T.F.A.
Very sad.
I remember seeing him on his last series of 9 out of 10 Cats and thinking he didn't look well but couldn't find any news.
He had me in stitches with his world-weary, deadpan delivery and cynicism.
I loved his riff about shopping in Aldi and Lidl being like being on holiday, with all the weird jars of stuff like puffin hearts.
Shame
He was a very funny chap.
He managed to be modern and current without resorting to swearing or profanity.
Definitely one of the better modern comedians IMO.
Very sad hearing this; his dry, sarcastic humour was right up my street.
Saw him live around 2012, utterly brilliant. Best line was the Chinese president worrying about his slowing economy, solved by lifting his phone and shouting MAKE MORE SH*T!
RIP.
I started following 8oo10cdCD on YouTube, he always came across as improvising his lines and genuinely enjoying himself, certainly more entertaining than the tired old tat that Carr is given to read aloud.
What a great comedian, seemed like a decent guy too. RIP.
