Jerry Sadowitz show cancelled over ‘extreme racism, homophobia and misogyny’

Some comedians at Edinburgh fringe express concern after promoter pulls Sadowitz's second performance

Jerry Sadowitz had his show cancelled at the Edinburgh fringe because its content was extreme in its racism, sexism, homophobia and misogyny," promoters have said.

The comedian, whose material has for decades been provocatively and unashamedly offensive, had what was meant to be the second of two shows pulled because of an unprecedented number of complaints, the Pleasance theatre in Edinburgh said.
