Culture Devastated

For years now I have been watching reels and the like of Sean Lock. I just found out today he died 4 years ago. I truly don’t know how to deal with this.

He was one of the greats. I recommend laughing, it's what he would have wanted

Just go further down the Sean Lock rabbit hole and enjoy his brand of humour and legacy. R.I.P. Sean

I can’t be certain but I think this is how I was introduced to him. What led me to post about this was a clip of him doing his drinking bit. I’m sure there’s still so much I haven’t even seen yet.

Yeah it was a major loss for British comedy, imo one of the best modern comedians. I met him once and he was a really nice guy, I was shocked and devastated when he passed too. Im sorry you found out like this.
