[h=1]Veteran comedian Ian Cognito jokes about dying before dropping dead onstage[/h]
When Cognito sat down and fell silent, "everyone in the crowd, me included, thought he was joking", he said.
"He was like his old self, his voice was loud. I was thinking, 'He's having such a good gig'."
Mr Bird said Cognito had even joked about his health during his set, telling the audience: "Imagine if I died in front of you lot here."
Audience member John Ostojak told the BBC: "Only 10 minutes before he sat down he joked about having a stroke."
"He said, 'Imagine having a stroke and waking up speaking Welsh'.
