'Solttehod)‘ sent me art attdio cassette ol‘ the (‘omed_\' Awards. .lonatltatt Ross was hosting it and he said something like. "You can’t just slit a pig‘s throat and go to work. not since .lert'}~ Sadowit/ packed it itt anyway." to wltich the whole room had a good lattgh. .\'ow. ltere | ant. working in a shop. I worked my I'ucking arse till. he written original comedy. And not old}. is it being nicked and used. l'm heing slagged oI'I'. 'l‘hey‘t'e kicking me in the teeth as well.‘
.-\s Sadowit/ talks )(Ill can hear the ennui. paranoia and persecution in his \‘oice. Perhaps his show is aptl} named. ('ertainl} these experiences in the mid-90s took him to the brink.
‘I don't hich the guts to top m_\‘selI'. so that’s wh_\ that‘s not ltappened. But it is genuinel} upsetting to see other people reaping
