Tom O'Connor Died

[Big Swifty]

That's 7:29 of my life, I'll never get back.

Thanks for reminding me NEVER to watch Lee, again

I only saw Lee a couple f times and I thought he was stealing a living as a "comic".
Thank you for confirming my opinion.

My grandparents always spoke very highly of him as they met him on a Greek cruise in the late 70s. He was father in law to the athlete Denise Lewis and was one of the few celebrity scousers who supported the right team

It's not for everyone, but to say o'connor was funnier is a joke in itself.
Stewart has perfected the art of comedy, he has that audience exactly where he wants them. He even splits them up at times, playing them off against each other. I've never seen anyone else pull that off.
The man is up there in my opinion, purely because he writes and narrates so brilliantly.
Tom, as highly regarded as he was amongst his peers, was a club comedian who got lucky and made it on to telly.

I just watched that 7 minute clip having never heard of him
Sorry, didn't laugh once.
The sardine thing got extremely tedious.
Came over as a ****.

I think it's more of a 'hipster' thing to 'pretend' to like him. You can spot them a mile away, they usually start a sentence off with: "So, I was reading the Guardian..."

RIP Tom
Nice guy.

Legend, a gentle, modest humour, ex teacher and a great advert for Merseyside rip.

Whilst his comedy wasn’t my cup of tea he seamed to be really happy and nice human being RIP Tom.
