Loki Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Oof, that's horrible. Feels like I've been listening to him for half my life - my parents had some tapes of his radio show back in the early 90s. Really funny, genuine guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted February 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 1, 2019 Really sad news. Jeremy Hardy was one of the first comedians I ever saw live. My mum took me to see him in Chester when I was about 15, he was hugely respected & one of the acts nobody ever had a bad word about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 1, 2019 Genuinely gutted. Jeremy was a man whose politics I shared, whose compassion I aspired to emulate, and who never failed to make me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 1, 2019 Love Jeremy Hardy. A real man of principle, and hilarious with it. He is, along with the Tiger Lillies, one of only two acts I've seen cause a mass walk-out at Jersey Opera House, after a couple of anti-monarchy and anti-military gags.

Love the Lillies, me! Jeremy Hardy was a wonderful man. I remember at one gig he was telling the story of when he was doing an anti racism benefit gig and on after him was a former NF member giving a speech. When the guy was introduced he got a massive ovation for renouncing his old ways and it dawned on Jeremy that this guy got a rapturous reception for not beating up blacks any more. “Hang on, he’s getting the biggest cheer of the night for stopping being racist. I’ve never hit anyone and I didn’t get that applause, maybe I should have” Had me in bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 1, 2019 That's brilliant. I can't decide whether he's actually being an arse or just having a joke and it's not conveyed well in print form.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 1, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 1, 2019 Never seen that interview before. It reminds me of that Rock Paper Shotgun one with arch uber-cock Peter Molyneux where he has a bit of a breakdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
