JEREMY HARDY is one of the UK’s foremost and respected stand-up comedians and this is his 30th year in the business.

An essential member of Radio 4’s Newsquiz team, Hardy is back on the road this autumn with two dates in South Wales in the coming weeks.

In this brand new show, Jeremy will be talking about death, CBeebies, Michael Gove, hip hop, gender, class, ego, Blue Peter, Leni Riefenstahl, misogyny, capitalism and Lassie and other things too.

He is perhaps best remembered as a younger man, but there is nothing he can do about that now.

He became a stand-up comic in 1984 and says he will be one until he dies or wins the lottery.

Hardy is a regular on several Radio 4 shows including I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue, Hamish and Dougall and Just A Minute.

Catch him at Abergavenny Borough Theatre this Saturday, call 01873 850805 – or visit boroughtheatreabergavenny.co.uk for tickets.

He also visits the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff on October 17.
