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".

The 60-year-old had two shows booked at the Pleasance, but was told he had been cancelled amid claims he used racist language and flashed on stage.

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."
