The best of the best from the Comedians' Comedian 2020' If you loved Jeremy Hardy, or if you know anyone who did, this is the most brilliant present because it' s got every part of his voice in it' DAWN FRENCH' Well good evening, my name is Jeremy Hardy and I' m a comedian who likes to make wry witty satirical observations about the society we live in -- but I prefer to keep them to myself, thank you very much. ' Edited by his wife, Katie Barlow and his long-time producer David Tyler, this comprehensive celebration of Jeremy Hardy' s work is introduced by Jack Dee and Mark Steel. Further reflections on Jeremy come from Rory Bremner, Paul Bassett Davies, Jon Naismith, Francesca Martinez, Sandi Toksvig, Victoria Coren Mitchell, Andy Hamilton, Graeme Garden and Hugo Rifkind. Katie Barlow also provides a moving Afterword. Jeremy Hardy, who died in February 2019, was perhaps the most distinctive and brilliant comedian to arise from the 80s Alternative Comedy circuit. He regularly entertained the millions who heard his outrageous rants on The News Quiz, his legendary singing on I' m Sorry I Haven' t a Clue, or his hilarious monologues and sketches on the award-winning Jeremy Hardy Speaks to The NationandJeremy

How many evenings he made he radio theatre rock with delight. - Sandi ToksvigJeremy Hardy was so special and brilliant and mischievous, a miracle of a person. - Victoria Coren-MitchellUnfussy, unshowy, principled, self-deprecating, hugely loved and admired by his fellow comedians, and funnier than the lot of us put together. A unique comedian and a lovely man. - Rory BremnerHe chose to use his comedy to change the world, rather than to fill stadia - Richard OsmanHe would light fires of indignation with his blazing wit - Independent
