RIP - Sean Hughes - 1965-2017

Liver cirrhosis kills Irish stand-up comedian, aged 51

excellent chap,very good in buzzcocks and that cop show with peter davidson

RIP. Always be remembered for Eejit Records.

He was probably included in the People You Never See on TV Anymore thread.  He was a big Bill Hicks fan

RIP fella

Was it a heart attack?

The reports is it was Cirrhosis, but I read he stopped drinking many years ago? His dad was apparently a drinker, maybe he turned to it recently, but drink isn't the only thing that can cause it, hepatitis etc.

loved him on buzzcocks when it first started, rip.

I worked with his Father for 20yrs , he liked a drink but was never over the top with it, Sean was born in London and was a Crystal Palace fan. I had a lovely chat with him after his Father's funeral, he was very close to his Dad. R.I P. Sean.

"I drank to block everything out "  Sounds like more than a few ales man to me.

Very young and very sad, didn't think he was as old as 51 though, liked him. a funny bloke! RIP Sean.

loved him on the buzzcocks

He just disappeared off TV, pity as I liked him, I like the surealist and actually funny stuff. Maybe he didn't want to come on panel shows and repeat the same "jokes" about Trump and Brexit every ****ing week and had more self respect?

Odd timing .. maybe he finally got that sock dried but todays weather in Ireland got it wet again .. finished him off
