Sean Lock

Sean Lock (22 April 1963 – 16 August 2021) was an English comedian and actor. He began his comedy career as a stand-up comedian, won the British Comedy Award in 2000 in the category of Best Live Comic, and was nominated for the Perrier Comedy Award.[3] He was a team captain on the Channel 4 comedy panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats from 2005 to 2015, and on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown from 2012 to 2021. Lock frequently appeared on stage, television and radio. His routines were often surreal and delivered in a deadpan style.[3][4] He also wrote material for Bill Bailey, Lee Evans, and Mark Lamarr, and was voted the 55th-greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups in 2007 and again in the updated 2010 list as the 19th-greatest stand-up comic.
