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 Nation and Jeremy
Hardy Feels It. Often referred to as 'the comedian's comedian',
Jeremy's comedy could be both personal and political, ranging in
topics from prison reform to parenting, from British identity to
sex. His comedy could be biting, provocative and illuminating, but
it could also be surreal, mischievous and, at times, very silly.
And while Jeremy's unwavering socialism was a thread that ran
throughout his comedy, his greatest skill was that, whatever their
political beliefs, Jeremy always brought his audience along with
him. Jeremy Hardy Speaks Volumes is a fitting celebration of this
brilliant comedian. Introduced by Jack Dee and Mark Steel and
containing material from his stand-up to his radio monologues and
political satire to the joyfully silly gems, as well as tributes
from his friends and fellow comedians, it is curated to encompass
everything about Jeremy that fans adored. Edited by Katie Barlow
and David Tyler, Jeremy Hardy Speaks Volumes is wise, daft,
outrageous, personal and, above all, very funny: like Jeremy
himself. 'Ground-breakingly brilliant, off-the-register funny' JACK
DEE 'A one-off. Part genius, part naughty schoolboy' SANDI TOKSVIG
'Unfussy, unshowy, principled, self-deprecating, hugely loved and
admired by his fellow comedians and funnier than the lot of us put
together' RORY BREMNER
