Controversial Scots comedian Jerry Sadowitz banned from Fringe amid racism and flashing claims
Scots comic Jerry Sadowitz has been cancelled by the Edinburgh Fringe after a raft of complaints about his show. Shocked audience members and venue staff hit out at the controversial comedian, who called his show 'Jerry Sadowitz: Not for Anyone' and warned it contained "strong language and themes some may find distressing".
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." The Pleasance Theatre Trust said it cancelled Sadowitz's second and final show "with immediate effect".
