Frankie Boyle in hunger strike to support Shaker Aamer - the last British detainee in Guantánamo Ba

Frankie Boyle? Don't you mean Jerry Sadowitz lite?

He's the Denis Leary of UK comedy.

Sadowitz is brilliant but when was the last time he recorded a special? He hasn't been on TV for 20 years. Boyle is a topical satirist.

As for Leary I think both he and Boyle would enjoy that comparison. Leary is also a great guy and a good comic, says it like it is but it's really pointless trying to compare him with Carlin or Bruce, they're dead.

Leary borrowed heavily from Hick's act and Boyle did likewise with Sadowitz. Jerry is as likely to get air time on mainstream tv as Doug Stanhope is.
