Great Punch Line, But He Can Only Do It Once
-
During his stand-up set Thursday, well-known veteran British comedian Ian Cognito (yes, it's a stage name) joked about feeling unwell and said, "Imagine if I died in front of you lot here." He also made a stroke joke. And then he did. He died onstage, during his set, just like Dick Shawn did years ago. He suddenly started breathing heavily, sat down on a stool, and remained silent for five minutes while the audience thought it was a bit. It wasn't. Do you want to go on the job, dying with your boots on, so to speak? (BBC)
