Glasgow comedian Jerry Sadowitz's Fringe show axed after material slammed as 'not acceptable'

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'.

The 60-year-old's Fringe offering, 'Jerry Sadowitz: Not for Anyone' was booked for two nights at the Pleasance, on Friday and Saturday. It came with a warning of 'strong language and themes some may find distressing'.

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'.
