RIP Ewen Gilmour

Stuff reports:

Kiwis are mourning “Westie” comedian Ewen Gilmour, who died at his home unexpectedly. He was 51.

Gilmour’s agent, ​Hillary Coe,​ confirmed he passed away last night.

“He passed away at home. It was very unexpected as he had not been unwell but it was natural, he passed away in his sleep.”

How sad and unexpected. Condolences to his family and friends.

I saw him do his comedy show around two years ago in Wellington. He was side splitting funny and I may never turn on a hotel light again! The review of his show is here. A huge loss to the NZ comedy scene.
