Mr. Nguyen Trung, Chief of Office of the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association, said that the son of artist Vu Duc informed him that on the evening of August 30, his father showed signs of recovery, but this morning (August 31), he breathed his last. The family is preparing for the funeral.

Comedian Vu Duc was born in 1953. He was a famous comedian in the 1980s and 1990s. His name was loved by the public through plays such as: "Cao Cao", "Take me back to my mother's hometown", "After Tet I will marry you", "Because of poverty", "Whose fate", "Chung Vo Diem", "One day to be king"...

Although he is small in stature, he has a charming comedic style and a very unique way of singing vọng cổ.

At the peak of his fame, he was associated with close co-stars such as artists Hong Nga, My Chi, To Kieu Lan... He won the Gold Medal of the National Professional Theater Festival for his role as Mr. Loc in the play "Nameless Dream" in 1995.

In 2005, artist Vu Duc suddenly suffered a stroke. Since then, he has been unable to continue his artistic activities. The after-effects of the stroke caused the artist’s limbs to contract, making it difficult to move, so he has had to stay home for many years.

For many years, his name was on the list of the program "Soulmate Artist" organized by People's Artist Kim Cuong, and every time that happened, his nephew would take him from Binh Duong to the City Theater to receive gifts and meet colleagues.

Recently, the Ngu Long Du Ky group including Phi Phung, Phuong Dung, Thuy Muoi... visited comedian Vu Duc when they heard that he was seriously ill.

Mr. Huynh Duy Khuong, nephew of comedian Vu Duc, said: "In addition to the stroke, he also had lung cancer. Over the past month, he has been getting weaker and unable to take medicine, so the hospital sent him home. In recent days, he has stopped eating and had to be cared for by nurses, but he did not get better. After a period of time on oxygen, he was able to drink a few spoonfuls of porridge and milk occasionally, and passed away, leaving his family in grief."
