The show was cancelled 'with immediate effect'.
Glasgow comedian Jerry Sadowitz' Edinburgh Fringe show was axed 'with immediate effect' after his 'material' was slammed as 'not acceptable' and had 'no place on the festival'.On Saturday the funnyman, who grew up in Glasgow's southside, announced on social media that his second show had been 'cancelled'. Indignant Sadowitz thought Friday's performance 'went well' and he 'didn't see any walkouts'.
Despite this, the comic said he was 'truly sorry' to all fans 'who travelled to see' Sunday night's performance, reports the Scottish Daily Express."Today I’m told my show's been cancelled. Great stuff.The Pleasance Theatre Trust said it cancelled Sadowitz's second and final show 'with immediate effect' because the 'material' was 'not acceptable' and 'did not align' with their 'values'.
Anthony Alderson, director of the Pleasance, said: "The Pleasance is a venue that champions freedom of speech and we do not censor comedians’ material. While we acknowledge that Jerry Sadowitz has often been controversial, the material presented at his first show is not acceptable and does not align with our values.
"This type of material has no place on the festival and the Pleasance will not be presenting his second and final show." The Pleasance said anyone who had booked a ticket for Saturday's gig would receive refunds for their tickets and that they "won’t be working" with the entertainer again.
