‘It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved brother Nick Nemeroff. Nick’s dedication to standup comedy was formidable and produced amazing results. He drew acclaim in Canada and the US, becoming both a ‘comic’s comic’ and a hit with crowds who were enamoured by his unique cadence, labyrinthine deadpan, and fresh take on misdirection-driven comedy. If Nick was on a comedy show, he was guaranteed to leave with new fans.
The family elaborated on how the comedian lived the life he always wanted: a life of comedy.
And he deserved to, because comedy was, in many ways, his life. Endlessly sweet, supportive of others, and humble about his many skills and achievements, Nick lived his life doing what he loved, and that is how he will be remembered. RIP Nick. We love you.”
However, the cause of his death has neither been revealed in the post shared by Nick’s brother nor been talked about by anyone from his family.
