A gentleman. A terrifying gentleman.’ While the Glee Club Birmingham tweeted: ‘We’re all very sad to hear of the passing of the legendary Ian Cognito. He was original, always hilarious, sometimes offensive and the true definition of “one of a kind”. R.I.P Cogs.’And Mitch Benn claimed that the London-born comic looked better than ever when he last saw him, adding that he had been receiving ‘treatment’ and was 18 months sober.He shared: ‘Just heard about Ian Cognito. Known him 25 years.
‘This feels so unfair. He’d never forgive me if I didn’t swear at this so WHAT YOU FUCKING DO THAT FOR, COGS YOU C***.’ Cognito often declared himself as the ‘undecorated hero of the British comedy frontline’, having never appeared on TV during his 30 year career, and was known for his outrageous routines.If you've got a story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk Entertainment team by emailing us
