Anyone been following this? I've never seen his act since he (understandably) very rarely appears on television, but I was aware of him. It's a bit of a blurred line because he's well known for being extremely offensive, but also makes no secret that it's very much an act, unlike the likes of Jim Davidson, Dave Chappelle, Gervais etc who actively peddle hate.
Apparently the racist term (or one of them) was that he referred to Rishi Sunak as a P*ki.
Here's his response:
He'll probably end up getting bigger crowds as a result of this, but they'll probably also be a larger proportion of people he actively despises, so I guess nobody wins really.
The Scottish comedian Jerry Sadowitz has had his Edinburgh fringe show cancelled by the venue after complaints from staff and audience members.
Sadowitz played just one night, on Friday, before the Pleasance banned him from performing again. His show was entitled Jerry Sadowitz: Not for Anyone and carried a warning that it contained “strong language and themes some may find distressing”.
Yesterday Sadowitz tweeted: “Did a show last night, 75 mins, thought it went well. Didn’t see any walkouts. Today I’m told my show’s been cancelled. Great stuff. I’m truly sorry for everyone who travelled to see the show tonight.”
It was claimed that he had used a racist term and exposed his penis to an audience member.
