"Just a great guy, and such an inclusive person.

Made everyone feel welcome, and made me feel I was good enough to do tour supports for him when I wasn't!"

Boyle wrote.

He added: "I used to love, over the years, getting to say 'Please Welcome Vladimir McTavish' or 'Please Welcome Bob Doolally'.

A great comic, a privilege to have known him, love to his family."

Final Show Scheduled for Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Prior to his death, Sneddon was booked to perform at next month's Edinburgh Festival Fringe at The Stand.

His scheduled show blurb detailed his recent health experiences alongside political commentary.

"A world on life support. A man on borrowed time.

A scathing attack on global politics," the promotional blurb for the upcoming show Vladimir McTavish read.

It noted that 2026 started badly for the planet and for the Scottish Comedy Award-winner, with a camera stuck up his nose leading to three months of chemotherapy.

"But there's more to the story. Relax, this is not another f*cking show about cancer," the blurb concluded.
