Interview: Jerry Sadowitz
The most combative – frequently referred to as the most ‘offensive’ – comedian, a stalwart in top lists of comics, Jerry Sadowitz takes issue with questions from Victoria Nangle in his own vitriolic style
Hellooo Jerry, how are you today?
How are YOU today?? F%@^ing idiot.
It’s good to see you’re in town for the Brighton Fringe. Will you be checking out some of the other shows on while you’re in town – and if so what kind of show piques your interest?
I won’t be checking out any shows!! I’ll be looking at all the gorgeous squeaky clean vacuous middle class professionally and socially non-contributing females and thinking “HOW DARE YOU NOT f%@^ ME, especially when there are NO OTHER MEN in Brighton.”
Sometimes it can feel like the most sense in parliament is being spoken by the Scottish MPs – SNP members. Do you think there could be an argument for Scotland declaring sovereignty over the rest of Britain – just because they make sense?
HOW DARE YOU TRY TO WIN ME OVER WITH SOME CHEAPSHOT SCOTTISH COMPLIMENT??!! The Scots are F%@^ing CHILDREN who espouse INSULARITY AND SOCIALISM because the alternative would require EFFORT AND SOBRIETY.
You have been called “the most offensive stand-up comedian in the world’. What is the most offensive thing in your world at the moment?
The prospect of playing to a MAXIMUM of 200 c*”%^s in Brighton after 35 YEARS OF COMEDY ENDEAVOUR and 44 YEARS OF DEDICATED MAGIC PRACTICE is something I find offensive and that’s a MAXIMUM – it will probably be nearer 100 IF I’M LUCKY… certainly not enough to afford a proper camera, screen or projector to SHOW THE F%@^ING TRICKS PROPERLY and that’s all because people are so DIM they will only watch someone who’s ON TELLY, now F%@^ OFF WITH YOUR STUPID QUESTIONS.
Why are magic tricks with cards so fascinating, as opposed to other genres of magic?
They’re NOT. Why don’t you do some f%@^ing RESEARCH?
HOW DARE YOU TRY TO WIN ME OVER WITH SOME CHEAPSHOT SCOTTISH COMPLIMENT??!!
Which magic trick do you wish that you had invented?
Would you know that trick if I told you?? Would your readers?? Let me know, and if the answer’s yes, maybe we could hold the second from the back page and I’ll Dropbox the answer to you as a zipfile, then you can download it as a WhatsApp… just as soon as my computer’s back up and running.
If you had three wishes that could change the world just for 24 hours, what would you wish for?
It’s unlucky to even READ a question like that.
What’s the best kind of revolution?
SEE ABOVE.
What is the magic word?
My God… you’ve run out of questions, haven’t you?????? GIVE YOUR JOB TO SOMEBODY ELSE – preferably a SYRIAN REFUGEE so I can put it in my PUBLICITY and increase my audience numbers by ONE.
Many thanks for your time and answers. Wishing you a great rest of your week.
Too late… I’m already having a FANTASTIC F%@^ING WEEK.
