He then turns to Carr and says: “You can’t write tears, Jimmy.”
After watching the clip, one fan penned: “I don’t know, but at this point, he may have been the only one in the room who knew how close, or likely in the near future, this may have been. Very sad. Also, he was hilarious.”
Sean Lock’s death was confirmed by a representative from Off The Kerb Productions.
The statement read: “It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of Sean Lock.
“He died at home from cancer, surrounded by his family. Sean was one of Britain’s finest comedians, his boundless creativity, lightning wit and the absurdist brilliance of his work, marked him out as a unique voice in British comedy.
“Sean was also a cherished husband and father to three children. Sean will be sorely missed by all that knew him.”
Many celebrities have paid tribute to him on social media.
Fellow funnyman Bill Bailey said: “It’s heartbreaking to lose my dearest friend Sean Lock, he was a true original, a wonderful comic. All my thoughts are with his family.”
