EDDIE IZZARD RECALLS SEAN LOCK’S “MAGNIFICENT SURREALIST” COMEDY

Eddie Izzard paid tribute to Sean Lock’s “beautifully surreal” comedy after his death at 58, saying, “His legacy lives on forever.” The 8 out of 10 cat star has died surrounded by her family after a battle with cancer and tributes from the comedy world have poured in.

Comedian Izzard told the PA News Agency, “I think Sean Lock started acting almost exactly the same time I did, so we were contemporaries.

“I do this weird and surreal thing, but his thing was beautifully surreal and I was a little jealous of what Sean could do, because his mind was leaping. I don’t know if he wrote, but he had to sit down and write stuff, but it spouted out and produced such crazy pictures.

“It makes lovely surreal images, but it also goes somewhere dark or playful, which you wouldn’t expect or most viewers expect, and I encourage people to go online -” Sean Lock “, put it in Google and look for his best tracks on YouTube and you will see his work and especially on the panel sets you can see that he is just riffing.

“He riffs, and he goes to that place and people argue and other comedians fall. This is the thing. you’re trying to make other comedians laugh and that’s what he could do. He could go places we didn’t expect anyone to go.
