    Reminds me of Tommy Cooper dying on stage live on television and people thinking it was part of the act and laughing super hard.

      That was actually my inspiration. It haunts me frequently, the idea of being so utterly alone in a group of people.

        It’s deeply dark and deeply funny. A fitting final act for a man who built his career on that style of comedy. I’m sure he would think so anyway.

        God I hadn’t thought about it that way. Scroobius pip wrote “Tommy c” about it, which has a really positive spin, so I always thought about that angle.
