» Sing For You Supper – Gars

Andrew Kay's food & drink: November 8th, 2011

Andrew Kay keeps on singing at Gars


Everybody needs to find their inner karaoke number. I have several now and woe betide anyone who gazzumps me. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. Why karaoke? This is my food page after all.

Let me explain. A few weeks ago I gathered a small group of my colleagues together and off we went to Gars for a very early Christmas party. We have been to Gars for the Latest Christmas celebration several times and in a straw poll it comes out tops with all our staff. Read the rest of this article »

» Jerry Sadowitz interview

Comedy, Features, Interviews: November 8th, 2011

Jerry Sadowitz has been lauded as a comedian’s comedian, performing his misanthropic comedy and magic show. Victoria Nangle asks a few questions of the famously private performer


Jerry Sadowitz was crowned 15th Greatest Comedian in Channel 4’s 2007 list of the funniest people around. He had his own television show in the ’90s, The Pall Bearer’s Revue, but apart from a few cameos, precious clips and short sets he’s stayed off the small screen since then. His taboo-busting antagonism, vitriolic and misanthropical content and stalwart outsider perspective has seen Sadowitz gather a cult following away from the popular Saturday night stand-up TV shows and Christmas DVD releases. A vehement alternative to the ‘Alternative’ comedy of the ’90s and still forging a path of his own, with several published books on magic under his belt and huge respect in both magical and comedic circles, we were very fortunate to get a chance to ask Jerry a few question of our own. Not that he was going to pull any punches with his answers…

How different is your onstage persona from the you that walks down the street afterwards?
They are both awful. The one on stage actually thinks he has something to offer. The one offstage is beyond despair, desperation and bitterness but he’s too cowardly to kill himself.

Your own delivery with comedy magic combo is incredibly unique to you and appreciated by your audiences. What’s your favourite kind of audience to receive it?
I have no idea of who it is that comes to watch me! As long as they don’t leave wanting a refund, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

How did your aggressive delivery first develop?
Intense anger of everything that I have experienced, not experienced and observed since birth. Read the rest of this article »

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
