A FRINGE show by controversial comedian Jerry Sadowitz has been cancelled following complaints to venue bosses.

Sadowitz was due to play two nights at The Pleasance at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on Friday and Saturday.

However, last night’s shows did not go ahead as the venue said the comedian’s material “does not align with our values”.

Sadowitz (60) posed on social media on Saturday: “Did a show last night, 75 mins, thought it went well. Didn’t see any walkouts.

“Great stuff. I’m truly sorry for everyone who travelled to see the show tonight.”

The Pleasance Theatre confirmed the second performance had been cancelled “with immediate effect”.

The American-born Scottish stand-up is known for his controversial style of black comedy.

One audience member told The Sun: “I was at the show. He called Rishi Sunak a ‘Paki’ and said the economy was awful because it is run ‘by blacks and women’.

“He got his penis out to a woman in the front row. The problem was not the audience – I knew he was an acquired taste. It was his indefensible content.”

It’s believed the show, titled Not for Anyone, caused many audience members and staff to complain.

In a promotion video for the show, the comedian held up a bird puppet, telling fans what to expect.

Sadowitz said: “He’s gonna be funny. He’s gonna be rude. He’s gonna do magic tricks.

“He’s gonna do impressions. He’s gonna get his dick out.

“He’s gonna do every fuck thing, so make sure you go and see him.”

In a statement, The Pleasance Theatre said: “Opinions such as those displayed on stage by Sadowitz are not acceptable and The Pleasance are not prepared to be associated with such material.”
