The Total Abuse Show (1988).
He came in 15th on Channel 4's "100 Greatest Stand-Ups"
I saw him in the summer at a comedy festival, insulted every known denomination known to man, I liked him lots. (better than those tv shows he used to do, imho)
Not sure how long this will stay up, as Mr Sadowitz is known for having his live Audio/Video recordings taken down off the net...

I've been looking for some of his live recordings recently :D

I was looking for some stuff too, I found an audio (torrent), but that's about it, even stuff that gets posted on YT only stays a fews days. After some research on a few comedy boards, it seems he goes out of his way to have it taken down, I think he feels alot of his jokes have been stolen and watered down for tv, on top of that, he's regarded (by the magic circle) as being one of the best close up card magicians in the business, there're tricks he can do that only a few people in the world can do.
If you ever get a chance to see him live, DO IT!

I've seen him three times - once doing a standup show without the magic, and twice with the magic. He truly does have some mindnumbingly nimble fingers - and a marvelous line in jokes that make you laugh on a gut reaction before you get a chance to think "should I have found that funny?"
The video above doesn't really do him justice :-)

He also has a magician's only section on his website, but you need to answer a question to get in. Any ideas?? :p

the gags were funny but the magic tricks were bizarre
