 | | In fact, Jeremy Hardy, is a short middle-class Caucasian who was born in Aldershot 40 years ago, graduated from Southampton University, and lives in London with his wife, the American comedienne, Kit Hollerbach, and their 11 year-old daughter. |
 | | If you encounter Jeremy Hardy in the flesh, you are just as likely to see him protesting outside the High Court or campaigning at a political rally, as seeing him doing the kind of stand-up routine that first made his name as a comic talent. |
 | | His radical viewpoint, sweetened with the dry charm that Radio 4 listeners find so appealing, is most successfully expressed in his Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation series in which he gives vent to his feelings on all the burning political issues of the day. |
