Beschreibung | Paul John Barbieri (21 November 1958 – 11 April 2019), known professionally as Ian Cognito, was an English stand-up comedian. He won the Time Out Award for Stand-up Comedy in 1999. Cognito had a reputation as Britain’s "most banned" comic. Despite his aggressive stage persona, though, he was widely rated as masterful performer with an innate grasp of stagecraft, inviting comparisons to iconoclasts like Lenny Bruce, Bill Hicks, and Jerry Sadowitz. A posthumous film about his life won Best Feature Documentary at the LA Indies in 2021. |
