Jerry Sadowitz (born 4 June 1961) is a Scottish stand-up comedian and magician. Notorious for his frequently controversial brand of black comedy, Sadowitz describes Bernard Manning as "the good cop" to his bad, and believes that audiences going to see a comedian should suspend their beliefs.
He has influenced a generation of comedians, but states that "politically incorrect comedy is no genre: it's me, and it's been ripped off by loads and loads of comics".
In 2007, he was voted the 15th greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups.
In the 2010 list, he was voted the 33rd greatest stand-up comic.Sadowitz is also widely acclaimed as one of the best close-up magicians in the world and an accomplished practitioner of sleight of hand, having written several books on magic and inventing several conjuring innovations. In 2008, Sadowitz published an open letter to reviewers asking them not to quote his material stating that "a very important element of comedy is surprise, and it can often make the difference between a show that works and one that does not".
He also actively protects his intellectual property, removing clips of himself from YouTube and torrent sites within hours of their appearance.
