Sid Snot’s series stars a comedian I have never heard of called Jolly Jack.

In one episode, Jolly Jack will persuade a prostitute (with pimp) to spend a week living with his (Jolly Jack’s) mother. “He’s good looking and he has no problem attracting girls,” Sid told me, “But he does just sometimes use prostitutes. Mostly in Soho. So they don’t have pimps. So that’s a problem.”
