I used to watch him when I was younger. IMO, the funniest English comedian around.
So sad.

Don't mourn for me now
Don't mourn for me never
I'm going to do nothing
For ever and ever.

This excerpt from www.msn.co.uk ...for those who don't know of the man.

LONDON (Reuters) - Irreverent Irish comedian Dave Allen, famed in for his sit-down comic routines with a whisky in one hand and cigarette in the other, has died aged 68.

His agent said on Friday that he passed away in his sleep on Thursday night, but the cause of his death was not known.

"He had been ill over Christmas but then was OK. This has come as a surprise," said Vivienne Clore.

The former journalist made his breakthrough in Australia in 1963 when, during a tour of the country, he was offered a television slot called "Tonight With Dave Allen".

Used to be one of my favorites too. Great comedian - and too young to have passed away.
