Tributes have been paid after the death of comedian Paul Sneddon – better known as Vladimir McTavish.

Announcing his death, The Stand Comedy Club in Glasgow said he was “a much treasured and loved” part of the Scottish comedy circuit.

Sneddon became a mainstay of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe during a 30-year long stand-up career and appeared on several BBC radio and TV programmes.

He was due to perform at the festival in August, with a show exploring “three months of chemotherapy” he underwent at the start of the year.

In a statement, The Stand said: “He was as known for his kindness, encouragement and generosity as he was for his immense talent.

“He made every green room brighter, every line-up funnier and the world a nicer place to live in.

“We are broken at the loss of our dear friend and will in time be marking his life appropriately.”
