The theatre claims a large number of people walked out of his show as they felt 'uncomfortable and unsafe'.

 

Unsafe. The fuck?

And he says that nobody left.

[Dr Nowt]

First time I saw Sadowitz he had his cock out waving it at the front row inside the first 5 minutes and sprayed the middle rows with what he said was piss through a super soaker not too long after that.

 

People weren’t walking out, they were sprinting out.

I get that people may have bought tickets to the show without knowing his style. But it’s impossible that the venue didn’t know.

Just to be clear, the venue Sadowitz was playing was Edinburgh International Conference Centre, the theatre company who cancelled his second show are Pleasance, some London based wankers Edinburgh council have sold the city out to.

It's the word 'unsafe' that baffled me.

At least all this didn't have a detrimental impact on quality.

I hope that's the under 10s category.

No wonder they're walking out.

Yeah it was far more edgy in the past before all this woke cancel culture nonsense.

Out of interest, what’s the major “cancel this cunt now” difference of getting your cock out and getting your cock and tits out?

It might be that the ticket sales warning states there's nudity in the show, whereas Sadowitz appears to be an impromptu display of his member.

None.

 

One theatre pulled Sadowitz's show because it "doesn't align with their values". Like you, I neither know nor care what they mean by that. It might be the alleged racist language. Maybe there was no nudity warning on the poster. Dunno.

Cancellation of Jerry Sadowitz going well

Malcolm Hardee awards handed out at Edinburgh Fringe

 

Jerry Sadowitz has been named ‘act most likely to make a million quid’ following his cancellation at the Edinburgh Fringe.

The comic won the Malcolm Hardee award after the second of two nights he was due to play at the Pleasance’s EICC venue was pulled amid complaints of racist and sexist material – and of exposing himself.

Judges said: ‘Ironically, after being cancelled, Sadowitz is seeing a huge increase in ticket sales for the show’s tour and is now adding a date at the 3,600+ seater Hammersmith Apollo in November. The Million Quid is getting closer for the most unlikely of reasons.’
