Alexei Sayle Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Alexei David Sayle (born 7 August 1952) is an English stand-up comedian, actor, author and former recording artist. He was a central part of the alternative comedy circuit in the early 1980s. He was voted the 18th greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-ups in 2007. In the updated 2010 poll he came 72nd. Much of Sayle's humour is in the tradition of Spike Milligan and Monty Python, with riffs based on absurd and surreal premises. His act is noted for its cynicism and political awareness, as well as physical comedy.

#Quote
1[on "Blue" by Joni Mitchell] That album is just pure poetry really.
2I'm in that situation where music's left me. Once they stopped selling CDs I gave up really. I don't know how to download really.
3[on Sting] He said to me, "You're really funny, aren't you?" And I said, "Yeah".
4Recently one of my friends decided to become a psychotherapist, so we all rallied round to help. We all went mad.
5To be a successful comedy writer you have to have a continually fertile imagination, that's what stops you from being a here today, Bros tomorrow, flash in the pan. Unfortunately, imagination is not something that you can turn on and off like a tap. Nor is it something that you can direct with pinpoint accuracy, unlike 12% of the missiles produced by the British Aerospace Industry. No, the same powers of imagination that make you think up exquisite jests and apposite drolleries are exactly the same powers of imagination that make you think that a dollop of egg mayonnaise left over from lunch that has fallen on your arm is in fact skin cancer. The same qualities of invention which help one to create this hilarious comedy are the same qualities of invention that induce in me the paranoid feeling that my pets are conspiring against me. In fact, I know they are because whenever I come in the room, they stop talking...
6I like a laugh.
7Israel is the Jimmy Savile of nation states. It clearly doesn't care about damaging the lives of children.
8[on Ben Elton] We all felt with Ben that what motivated him primarily was popularity and power. But the problem with pursuing that popularity, I think, for him, is that it can never make you happy.
9Everyone I used to work with is still alive and can afford expensive lawyers. For me, the showbiz memoir is uninteresting - you want to tell people something they don't know about.
10I did six series for the BBC and that was enough. I've been writing for ten years, which is more challenging artistically.
11It seems easier to make a career out of comedy now than it was in the 1980s. Now, as a comic, if you're vaguely amusing you can go straight into TV, then you play the O2 and then everyone's sick of you.
12It's a quieter life than being on the telly but no one's been snide in their book reviews like people can be in TV reviews. I'm an intellectual. I'd have been given a medal in France. It's still a struggle here. People used to think I was just a shouty comic but I was doing stuff about Sartre.
13At least Thatcher was insane. I think that Blair's insane and sanctimonious.
#Fact
1Was a regular columnist for the influential British automobile magazine, 'Car'.

31995: Awarded an Honorary Professorship, Thames Valley University 1989: International Emmy for "Alexei Sayle's Stuff" (ep. Fun with Magnets) "Ullo John, Got a New Motor?" reached #15 in the UK singles chart in 1984
