Timeline

2019

On 11 April 2019, Cognito suffered a heart attack and collapsed on stage during his set in Bicester. This was initially thought by the audience to be a part of the act, until emergency services were called in. The audience was evacuated and paramedics declared him dead at the scene.

1995

His autobiography was originally published on his website in 1995 then revised and updated for Kindle in 2013. He billed it as "the best book about comedy I have ever writ".

1991

Cognito was the father of British actor Ollie Barbieri (born 1991), who played JJ Jones in the British teen drama Skins.

1985

Cognito was born in London of Irish and Italian ancestry. He first performed stand-up in 1985 and likened arriving at his stage name to Dr Jekyll creating Mr Hyde. By so openly embracing his excesses—such as throwing a television set out of a hotel window ("room service was late")—he quickly became known as Britain's "most banned" comic.

1958

Paul John Barbieri (21 November 1958 – 11 April 2019), known professionally as Ian Cognito, was an English stand-up comedian. An iconoclastic performer, Cognito had been compared to Lenny Bruce, Bill Hicks, and Jerry Sadowitz but never achieved success in the mainstream media, in part at least due to his reputation for being a hellraiser. He won the Time Out Award for Stand-up Comedy in 1999.
