First go by the name Ian Cognito.

Late night stand up routine includes a joke about a stroke.

Ten minutes later collapse on stage.

Audience appreciates collapse as an extension of the stroke joke.

Ambulance called, but Mr. Incognito was dead.

True.

Strokes are scary as frick. I was with my father in law once when he had a massive stroke but luckily survived and is doing quite well now beating the odds. He was talking and joking around, having a good time and then suddenly he just started sort of repeating what he said at the moment the stroke happened. It wasn't very clear what he was trying to say and he kind of just froze. I knew right away what was going on. Got him to sit down, told him to put his arms in the air and he couldn't put one of them up. I looked at my mother in law and said "call 911 now he's having a stroke". She goes "we don't know that, hold on." I snapped back and yelled at her "CALL 911!". She did and sure enough it was a massive stroke.

It is what Ian Cognito would have wanted.

A guy that used to work for me had a stroke right in front of me. I was in his office talking to him and he started slurring and the face drooping. I thought he was f'ing around so I started doing it back to him.

After a short while I said wait holy shite.... he wouldnt let me call ambulance. He called his wife and she came and got him and WENT HOME. He refused to go to ER or even a doctor's office. Miraculously he returned to 100% normal after about 6-8 weeks.

Dick Shawn, most well known for being LSD in The Producers and being Sylvester in It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, died in a similar fashion.

He did a joke about running as a politician and “not laying down on the job” then collapsing and dying. Stagehands didn’t check on him for a while because he had told them that he may do actions like that as part of the show and then get up and keep going. Except he didn’t.

I don’t get it. Must have been an inside joke.

Sounds like Tommy Cooper, he had a heart attack on stage in 1984 and the crowd thought it was part of the act.

The father of Bob Einstein (Super Dave Osborne) and Albert Brooks had a heart attack on stage while participating in a Friar's Club roast. People initially thought it was a part of the act

A friend of my dad was in the shower and noticed he couldn't feel whether the water was hot or cold on one side of his body. That was his symptom. He's okay now but it left him with bad double vision.

Not helped by Milton Berle asking if there was a doctor in the house after Parkyakarkus collapsed or the band, while trying to distract the crowd, initially started playing “There’s No Tomorrow” before being told to play something else.

The whole thing is covered in depth within the Friar’s Club documentary “Let Me In, I Hear Laughter”.

checked on my grandpa cuz he kept disking a field in the same tight circle, immediately knew there was a problem, left side of his face drooping and left arm hanging by his side, was able to jump on the tractor as it went by me and stop it, he stayed bed ridden for years unable to move or speak, just a horrible time for him and us,
miss you grandpa...
