From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeremy Hardy (born 17 July 1961) is an English alternative comedian. Born in Farnborough, but now living in Streatham, he is known for his socialist politics coupled with a very English delivery.

Hardy studied Modern History and Politics at the University of Southampton. He started his stand-up career in the early 1980s, and won the Perrier Comedy Award in 1988 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He is best known for his radio work, particularly on The News Quiz and his long running series of monologues Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation. His experiences in Palestine during the Israeli army incursions of 2002 became the subject of a feature documentary Jeremy Hardy vs the Israeli Army (2003), directed by Leila Sansour.

He made his television debut in the late 1980s in various comedy shows including Blackadder Goes Forth (1989), has presented a television documentary about the political background to the English Civil War and, surprisingly, presented an edition of Top of the Pops in 1996.
