Scottish comedian Jerry Sadowitz has defended himself after his show at the Fringe was pulled from the programme.
The controversial stand up was set to play two nights at the Pleasance at Edinburgh International Conference Centre only for the second night to be called off on August 13 at short notice. According to The Pleasance Theatre Trust, his material was ‘unacceptable’ and ‘did not align with their values’.
The organisation claim to have received an ‘unprecedented’ number of complaints following his first show. The Pleasance said many walked out of the performance and claimed they felt ‘uncomfortable and unsafe’.
