I'm so shocked and saddened. I had a great conversation with her a few years ago when we got her to do a gig for us and she was so lovely and encouraged me to follow my passions...
Damn.

I met her at a night some friends run that cater to the comedy crowd. Was also so uplifting and chatty. So sad to hear the news...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Wilson, who appeared in television shows such as Spicks and Specks and Good News Week, died at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, her management said.
"Cal's generosity, talent and friendship have been constants in the Australian comedy scene for the last 20 years," the statement from Wilson's management read.
"Cal was loved by her family, friends, fans and peers and a huge hole has been torn in the heart of our community."
Hard Quiz host and fellow Skithouse regular Tom Gleeson paid a public tribute to Wilson.
Comedian Adam Hills said the news of his friend's death had "broken me slightly" but said the outpouring of love for Wilson had been heartwarming.
"Her professionalism, work ethic and genuine heart-warming humour instantly made her a favourite amongst cast and crew, as well as the Australian audience."
The original article contains 526 words, the summary contains 135 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Sad news indeed. I saw her MC at a moth story telling night a few years back. She seemed like a wonderful kind person.
