Jerry Sadowitz



I went along to the King's Theatre in Glasgow last Saturday to see Jerry Sadowitz perform, as part of the Glasgow Comedy Festival.

 Sadowitz is a wonderful sleight off hand magician, among the best you'll see anywhere, and he combines his prestidigitation skills with a madcap, stand-up, foul-mouthed comedy routine which can make Frankie Boyle sound like Pollyanna, at times. 

 So he's not for the faint hearted, although I would defy anyone not to laugh their heads off at his savage and excoriating put down of the desperate contestants on 'Deal Or No Deal' as they try to win £250,000 from Noel Edmunds and his banker - for doing 'f*** all', as Sadowitz puts it. 

 Jerry Sadowitz was born in New Jersey, USA, but grew up and went to school in Shawlands Glasgow and it shows because his sense of humour takes no prisoners - not many people, for example, could get a big laugh from the line: "Nelson Mandela, what a c**t."

 One claim to fame that no one but Jerry Sadowitz can make is that called it absolutely right over Jimmy Savile - by referring to Savile as an expert in child abuse, when everyone else was either running for cover or fawning over the TV celebrity, now exposed as a terrible paedophile, of course.

 Check out his web site at www.jerrysadowitz.com - or better still go and seek him on stage, nothing can quite prepare you for the real thing.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
