Patrick Stewart Delivered a Comic Eulogy for Himself at a 2015 Gala
Patrick Stewart wrote and performed his own comic eulogy at a 2015 gala during Montreal’s Just for Laughs festival.
He was 75 and hosted the event, closing the night with a speech that imagined his own death.
The eulogy joked that Stewart had sex with thousands of objects, including seats in the venue.
The crude humor surprised fans who knew him for dignified roles such as Jean-Luc Picard in *Star Trek: The Next Generation*.
Stewart also had a long history of comedy work, including roles in *Robin Hood: Men in Tights*, *Extras* and the sitcom *Blunt Talk*.
Stewart died at home after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia, and loved ones, fans and former co-stars honored him in October 2026.
His career showed that he enjoyed moving beyond dramatic roles; in 2015, he described comedy as a liberating experience.

What people are saying
He was also a husband and a father and a friend. But most of all, he was an objectophile who achieved sexual congress with literally thousands of inanimate objects.
