Sadowitz
Controversial comedian Jerry Sadowitz's upcoming gig in Margate is no longer happening.
According to a message on the promoter Walnut Whip's website, the show is "Cancelled/Postponed/Ain’t Happening. Sadly, the advertised show on September 17th won’t now be happening for a variety of reasons. We’re still on good terms with Jerry Sadowitz and are hoping to arrange something in the near future."
The results of the Malcolm Hardee Awards 2022 have been announced during a ceremony at the Edinburgh Fringe.
The awards - handed out in the memory of comic, agent, manager, club-owner and prankster Malcolm Hardee - celebrate and promote the spirit of anything-goes comedy anarchy at the Edinburgh Festival.
This year's winners are:
Jerry Sadowitz is set to return to the Edinburgh Fringe following the controversy over his show at the Pleasance @ EICC being cancelled after the first night of its two-night run.
The first time I saw Jerry Sadowitz was over thirty years ago. It was in The Rub-A-Dub Club in Sydenham at a gig hosted by an impossibly young Vic Reeves. Sadowitz came on and told the following joke: "How do you get six p**** into a Datsun?" "I don't know but they manage it don't they". I might have the precise wording, numbers or the brand of car wrong but he definitely used the p word. It was so rarely used that it stuck out a mile. There was an audible gasp in the audience.
Jerry Sadowitz has issued this statement in response to the Pleasance statement earlier today.
"I don’t wish to humiliate The Pleasance but they are doubling down on their position and I don’t want to be made the victim of that. I repeat... I did a 75 minute show for 600 people that went pretty well and left with no hint of anything going wrong.
Jerry Sadowitz's short Edinburgh Fringe run has become even shorter. The controversial comic/magician was supposed to be doing two nights at the Lennox Theatre at the Pleasance @ the Edinburgh Conference Centre, but following the first show on Friday night the second show on Saturday August 13 appears to be no longer taking place. At the time of writing it is still on the Fringe website but it is not possible to purchase tickets.
Controversial stand-up Jerry Sadowitz will embark on tour this October.
Voted the “15th greatest comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups”, the press releases says that Sadowitz returns with his "impressions of Greta Thunberg, Frankie Boyle and deep vein thrombosis."
