A sad day for art, comedy and freedom of expression.

"An Edinburgh Festival Fringe show by American-Scots comedian Jerry Sadowitz has been cancelled by organisers.

Sadowitz appeared at The Pleasance at Edinburgh International Conference Centre on Friday.

He had been due to play for two nights, but the comedian said that his gig on Saturday had been cancelled.

The venue indicated that the show would not go ahead as his material “does not align with our values”."

 

I've seen Sadowitz once live and I laughed myself silly.

I wonder two things:

 

Who would go to a Sadowitz gig and then complain about the content (everyone knows he likes to offend)?

 

What did he say that they complained about?  

 

I doubt we'll find out the answer to either.

Apparently there was a racial slur about Sunak.  

Yes. Apparently he made reference to Sunak being a ‘paki’. Sunak is an Indian.

i think the joke there is that racists are ignorant rather than him being racist himself. It’s an old joke actually been done many times.
