Ian Cognito death video: How stand up comedian died on stage
Stand up comic Ian Cognito died after ‘having a heart attack’ on stage, 10 minutes after joking and asking his audience members – “Imagine if I died in front of you lot here”.
And then he did.
While on stage at the Lone Wolf Comedy Club in The Atic bar in Bicester (Oxfordshire UK), according to one audience member, Cognito had joked about having a stroke.
John Ostojak said:
“Only 10 minutes before he sat down he joked about having a stroke.”
“He said, ‘Imagine having a stroke and waking up speaking Welsh’.”
Then the comedian “sat on a chair and laid back for five minutes” with his audience members continuing to laugh thinking his silence was part of the show.
Mr Ostojak said that when the funnyman sat down at the end of his set, they thought it was “part of the act.”
“We came out feeling really sick, we just sat there for five minutes watching him, laughing at him,” he added.
It was only when the compere approached the stage and realised he wasn’t breathing, an ambulance was called.
Paramedics were called at 10.20pm on Thursday night but the star was pronounced dead at the scene.
Reports say he had been taking medication for a heart condition.
Responding to Ian Cognito death, Lone Wolf Comedy Club said in a statement:
Thanks to everyone for all your messages. We feel proud and privileged that Ian Cognito’s last gig was with us. Let’s not forget he was SMASHING IT.
