I caught a little about this on Radio2 this morning on my way to work, but didnt hear the interview because Id got to the job. So I Yahooed it and found this

Gutted is an understatement

Indeed a shame.
I could have lived without the journalist's descent into liking the sound of his own opinion in the last third of the article, but then don't they always?

I always thought he tried to hard for a laugh personally. But a shame as he was obviously popular.

My teenage son finds him hilarious and it's hard not to get carried away with his energy and exuberance but I prefer Sean Lock's more laid-back style myself.

 

[Cartus]

He's often compared to Norman Wisdom, it's not hard to see why, I always quite liked him: "Mr Grimsdale...!"

Fantastic comedian, Doesn't have to resort to crudeness to get through a show !

I've seen BIG at the O2, and Roadrunner and Monsters at Bournemouth. So so funny.

I quite liked him. I remember seeing him years ago before he was famous. I worked for TSB bank and they booked him for their annual conference.
He walked off half way through because folks were booing him.

Have to admit, I, too am gutted about it. I like visual-type comedy what with me being deaf. That's why the likes of Phil Cool, Rowan Atkinson, The Baldy Man and Laurel & Hardy works very well on me.
