Good thing he didn’t add, “I’ll be here all week!”

Happened to Comedian Tommy Cooper back in 1984.

Had to double check to make sure it wasn’t Steven Wright. The king of deadpan comedy.

I watched a comic die on stage. It was around 30 years ago and the audience booed him. He was pretty bad too.

Never heard of one actually dying tho.

Don’t remember Foxx dying, but Dick Shawn is the most referenced for it.

"Died with his boots on," tweeted fellow comic Jimmy Carr, adding, "I'll never forget his kindness when I started out."

Well, when it is time to leave this world, this is not a bad way to go.
