Sean Hughes RIP

Sean Hughes has just passed away. His last tweet was from hospital last week. I saw his standup a few times a long time ago and I was a big fan. I also really liked Sean's Show back in the 90s. Talented and very funny guy. RIP. :(

I loved Seanies show and I also had his first book entitled: Sean's book

His standup was quite good but there was something about his delivery that didn't gel with me fully. I always laughed but rarely laughed uproariously. I never quite understood why because he was genuinely very good.
