Glasgow comic Jerry Sadowitz hits back at Fringe venue's 'anger and bile' amid axed show

Glasgow stand-up Jerry Sadowitz has hit back at Edinburgh Fringe venue chiefs who axed his show off the back of what he claims to be 'fake and exaggerated anger and bile'.

Glasgow Live previously reported that 'Jerry Sadowitz: Not for Anyone' at the Pleasance was cancelled 'with immediate effect' over the weekend. It came with a warning of 'strong language and themes some may find distressing'.

Festival bosses slammed Friday's show as 'extreme in its racism, sexism, homophobia and misogyny' and said it sparked, 'an unprecedented number of complaints'. Saturday's offering was scrapped as a result.
