Site last updated 2006-10-31 with a new Jeremy Hardy shop.
Visit my new Amazon store for Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation on CD.
Welcome to the Unofficial Jeremy Hardy Page, the page for news and information about the British satirist, broadcaster, columnist and comedian. This page should be read in conjunction with the YahooGroup, which is sometimes more up-to-date.
The most frequently-asked questions I receive can be addressed as follows:
- The film “Jeremy Hardy versus the Israeli Army” is not available on video. There is a GeoCities site about the film, an IMDB entry with nothing on it, a Channel 4 Film site, and assorted others on Google. I have not yet been able to see the film myself, so regretfully cannot comment on it.
- Jeremy Hardy is managed by Off the Kerb, who have a list of his live events, and many other notable comedians on their books. I cannot contact Mr Hardy myself, so please direct any enquiries regarding bookings, etc., to them.
- Some tour dates have been announced for 2007 (link to Off the Kerb's site).
Some favourite quotes:
“I quite like those fizzy Vitamin C drinks. They’re like Fanta without the comedown.” News Quiz recording, 08/06/2001.
And thanks to David Carr for this, a transcript from the News Quiz. It’s from Jeremy’s friends Emma and Martin, taken from The Winchester and Mid Hampshire Observer, and it’s the editor replying to a reader’s letter (although Carrie Quinlan claims it is from an episode of the West Wing—I know not which came first):
“Good point well made, Mr. Duncan. As you clearly say, it states in Leviticus Chapter 18 Verse 22 that homosexuality is an abomination. Which reminds me—there are a couple of things I need guidance on. Firstly, If I wanted to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7, how much could I expect to make from such a deal? Also, my colleague Pete insists on working on the sabbath. Exodus clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or is it OK to get some outside help? Lastly, does the whole city really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side. And when I burn my mother for wearing garments made from two different threads, do I torch her whole or just a bit?”
Well, poly-cotton does burn well…
