Jimmy Cricket’s son makes a remark at his father’s funeral that includes a joke about death, according to multiple reports. The comment—described as “not the first time I’ve seen him die”—is presented as a light-hearted moment during the service.
All three outlets say comedy figures attend the funeral, including Syd Little, Tommy Cannon, and Roy Walker. While the core details are the same, the available summaries emphasize different aspects: two outlets provide no further detail beyond the headline, while the Evening Standard and BreakingNews.ie also highlight the presence of fellow comedians.
Together, the coverage frames the occasion as a funeral attended by members of the comedy world, where the bereaved son’s remarks prompt attention for their tone rather than any reported dispute or controversy. The reports do not provide additional specifics on the service beyond the attendance list and the nature of the joke.
