Jerry Sadowitz Edinburgh fringe standup show axed due to complaints

Pleasance theatre cancels Scottish comic, saying his material does not align with our values'

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".
