Anyone who doesn’t have Sean Lock in their top three British comics of the last thirty years doesn’t know anything about stand up. He was also a genuinely lovely man off stage. Devastating news.

Comedy doesn’t feel very funny right now. #RIPSean

Everyone’s favourite. No finer comic. Always exciting to work with and always so nice. My deepest condolences to all of Sean Lock’s family and friends and everyone at @OffTheKerb. What a huge, heartbreaking loss.

The highest compliment that you can pay Sean Lock is that he made it all look so effortless, that the wit he had was clearly so natural that if he wasn't up on stage telling jokes he would been saying the exact same things to his mates at work or his friends at the pub. RIP.

Such awful, sad news about Sean Lock. He was an astonishing comedian who had a way of looking at the world like no one else, you were excited to hear what he had to say every time he opened his mouth. My thoughts are with his family today

Awful news about the brilliant Sean Lock. One of the all-time greats. A lovely man, and just as funny off-screen as on.

Sean Lock; A brilliant comedian, obviously, but just a genuinely hilarious guy too and one of the soundest guys in comedy, from when I first started to when we last had a laugh together. Very sad news.

Oh bless you Sean Lock, brilliantly funny, brilliantly grumpy, brilliantly bonkers, magnificent company, a proper comic.

Sean Lock seemed to float above all the schools and cliques and vogues of comedy by just being incredibly funny to absolutely everyone. Very few people achieve that. What a brilliant guy.

I was always slightly in awe of Sean Lock. He always seemed to be able to spin magical threads of comedy from nothing. And seemingly effortlessly. Chucking them away like they were nothing. A really singular voice who will be missed.

Comedy writer Amanda Wilkie reminded us of Sean’s hilarious irreverence.

I think Sean Lock’s first ever Twitter post (and he only ever posted one other tweet) sums him up beautifully. pic.twitter.com/kxw1h8n2pu

While his fellow stand-up comedian, Jo Caulfield, shared a way for people to pay their respects in a tangible way.
