I don't think he's on anything like the same Caligula-like scale but he does constantly remind me of Boris Johnson, a similar confidence trickster using TV, media, sentimentality, charity, 'eccentricity' and a similar 'yes, I actually am a gangster' double-bluff— Owen Hatherley (@owenhatherley) May 9, 2020

I think i'm going to dive in, lol a month after finishing vol 2 of Ullrich's Hitler biog!

the dan davies book is p good tho -- unless there's a updated post #metoo edition -- it felt like he was pulling some of his punches (at least that's what i felt when i read it)
in terms of "in plain sight" saville's own "as it happens" is a good deal grimmer
lol i couldn't even finish the first paragraph of the david hare review, just take this guy's pen away forever plz
― mark s, Saturday, 9 May 2020 11:40 (three years ago) link
delete "tho" which is a relic of this post when written in a different order (take my pen away also)
Nobody give me a pen because it looks to me like tho works fine in that sentence

it implies a qualification of a fellow poster's opinion that i did not intend to make, harmless as it seems

learning since i posted that the book was extremely heavily lawyered which may explain the aspect which frustrates me -- i shd reread it probably

yoikes! I can vaguely remember in the 70's when my my mum was a registered childminder he was the face of registered childminding. I know I'm not making this up because I can clearly remember some govt childminding pamphlet in the house with a pic of a black haired Savile on the cover.

saw sadowitz in a pub in ealing once, rehearsing his tour, and it was one of the funniest things i’ve seen (partly because it definitely wasn’t for a lot of the people there). then i went to see pretty much exactly the same show at the royal festival hall (bit weird) and it felt offensive and flat.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 19:29 (two years ago) link
possibly worth noting i generally loathe comedy and esp stand up comics (numerous notable exceptions aside)
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 19:31 (two years ago) link
god how pompous. but i just don’t like the whole stand up comedy thing. every fibre of me resists violently.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 19:32 (two years ago) link
agree. there's just something cringe about the whole setup. an audience pays to have someone be funny for them. no wonder so many stand-up comics are assholes. i'm not sure why i don't feel this way about theater. the older i get the more my definition of humor turns to spontaneous riffing among friends.

OTM. Jerry is a magician though! I mean, literally a magician.
― Bastards of Fish (Tom D.), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 20:05 (two years ago) link
You'll like this you cunt, not a lot, but you'll like it! tbf he was a much better magician than Paul Daniels and he's often made me laugh than any comedians do.
