Life R.I.P. comedian Kevin Meaney

**Baby Lee** · 10-22-2016, 12:51 AM

Died in his sleep at 60. Too young.

Almost a throwback. What they call a comedian's comedian. A more manic Louie Anderson

Too young.

back when pg comedy was funny.

Kind of bittersweet story, he.

Came out 5 or so years ago, got a divorce and married a dude.

From the sound of it, it wasn't until he started working on Broadway that it even occurred to him that gay was something people were.

IIRC his split with his wife was amicable and she became his manager.

Seemed happy and contented, then poof. Dead.

i know i will be 'flamed' for this with my lgbt thread, but it doesnt matter what one thinks feels or believes. good intentioned people are those who are missed most.

No one asked you to be OK with anything, I mentioned some facts about a dude who just died.

You should have posted a clip of him saying something funny.

BL's easily offended. And a semi-celeb died, so he's gonna be a little touchy.

I don't agree with his life style, but hope he rests in peace.

i think this is what i meant, but i engaged in what i thought was his ability to 'politicize' the moment. i had no idea he was gay till pointed out

Agreed. Hoping there's lot of dick for him to suck in heaven. RIP.

Had to google him, it still didn't click. I don't recall ever seeing him or hearing of him. RIP Kevin Meaney.
