JEREMY HARDY

Keeping it real for the socialist massive

When Jeremy Hardy first appeared on the comedy scene, bobbing along the early 805' big wave of alternative comics, his material was just as socially aware as the era’s kingpin Ben Elton, but without the hectoring or the sparkly suits. Jeremy could even have been mistaken for a mild-mannered Tory. what with that name and his crumpled brown two-piece. But guess which one has kept it real? Get along and give Hardy the laurels he deserves. I Assemb/y Rooms, 226 2428. 23—30 Aug. 8.55pm, $72—$13 (fl 1—172).
