The Pleasance Theatre and Comedy Censorship

Posted on by

Jerry Sadowitz. Now, I don’t find this cunt funny, but some people do, so each to their own. That’s life as they say.

Most level headed people either check out a comedians material beforehand or have previous experience of seeing him or her either live, or tv etc, so when they go out their way to buy a ticket for a show, they have a pretty good idea what to expect.

I suppose the only exception to this, may well be an unknown at a local pub comedy night, whereby you’ve gone a long for a few beers and maybe be entertained- not entertained, then you know for next time.

Now, I have never seen this guy live, but I have heard some of his material- not my cup of tea, so I wouldn’t buy a- no doubt expensive- ticket to one of his shows.

Now, it would appear a load of highly sensitive cunts have and now they want their money back, and the Pleasance theatre hosting this guy have decided to cancel his last show because “Opinions such as those displayed on stage by Sadowitz are not acceptable and The Pleasance are not prepared to be associated with such material.” and of course they have decided to refund the snowflakes who complained, so they are losing money.

I would have more respect for the theatre if they were honest and said they are losing money, but no, they come out with a shit statement, that basically says ‘unless a show conforms to what they feel is acceptable, then it will be banned’

Surely, comedy is subjective and divisive in it’s nature, and therefore by refunding these twats, they have set a precedent whereby if anyone in the future doesn’t find a comedian funny- whether that be via shock, controversy or good old knock knock jokes, then patrons are entitled to a refund. Hell, they even put a disclaimer up online, on posters and other outlets- yet still refunded. A quick google before buying tickets would inform even the thickest, that he is not your everyday comedian- but no. CUNTS.

So 3 issues. The cunts who bought tickets and then complained, the venue for pandering to those cunts and refunding them, and the venue who are now stating unless an act conforms to what they think is entertaining, then they won’t book them.

I second this nom

In the mid 90’s I went to watch Frank Skinner live.

It was at the time when he was funny.

He also did a chat show on the telly box but it was far less edgy than his real act.

There was a couple in front of us that caught my attention quite early on as the bloke was pissing himself but it was stifled laughter.

His Mrs clearly was not amused.

He said every fuck and cunt in the world and his entire act was based around knob jokes.

After the interval the couple in front didn’t return to their seats.

I can only assume that Ms was disgusted because she’d only ever seen the chat show and Mr didn’t get his oats that night but fuck me it’s unthinkable that only 25 years ago everyone simply accepted that if you went to a comedy night you’d hear edgy stuff that may not chime with everyone but never in the name of Christ would you have thought it acceptable that one offended cunt could bring the entire show down.

  1. Comedy is dead in this country as long as the po faced wokies rule the roost and it appears they have a very firm grip. It’s like Cromwell and his Major Generals sending the troops round to stop people celebrating Christmas. It may be unofficial but we now have the kind of censorship that Mary Whitehouse could only dream of. Stop laughing at the back you cunts!

    • There was an article in The Daily Fail at the weekend, “the new puritans” was the gist of it.

      The cultist woke social justice movement is the first one in history that seeks not to extend freedoms, but limit them. Nail on the head I thought.

    • I’ve been a fan of Jerry Sadowitz since I was 18yr.
      I find him hilarious,
      And his sweaty magic tricks are great.

      Why would someone buy tickets to see a comedian without having a idea what their acts like?

      It’s no secret Jerry is crude, profane, provocative .

      Those complaining went with the sole intention of complaining.
      To get him cancelled.

      The pleasance theatre panicked,
      The Tarquins that run it capitulated,
      Bottled it rather than tell them to get a sense of humour and fuck off.

      Cowardly cunts

      • Went to see Jerry in the 80s in Leicester Square. He was blatantly asking wimmin for a fuck. When he got no answer, he’d say then a blow job is out of the question.

  3. Sadowitz doesn’t make me laugh, possibly because I can’t understand a fucking word he says.
    This cancel culture shit has got way out of hand, and I fear it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better, if it ever does. And politicians and commentators on the left say it doesn’t exist… Jeez, talk about gas-lighting.

  4. It nows seems its about ruining everyone’s enjoyment of something..
    It’s beggars belief that venues would cancel it on a few complaints.
    In this current climate that is financial suicide, personally I hope they go bust.

  5. Sadowitz has been a weirdo for a long time. An acquired taste. He has been cancelled for getting his dick out apparently. And some hurty words. However, the sensation of this shit fest is a tranmny ‘comic’ who gets his dick and tits out as a climax to the show.

    These fuckers are sick in the head and make Sadowitz look normal.

    • It seems where Sadowitz went wrong was getting his cock out and NOT crying about Brexit and the Conservatives.

  6. Sadowitz is quite a character. Probably one of the best sleight of hand magicians in the UK. Hhis manager was Malcolm Hardee who died by drowning off his pub/boat The Wibbly Wobbly. His ideas were ripped off by other comedians such as Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle (Who sounds like a ned that has been drinking Red Stripe Strong Lager through his nose for a week these days).

    The joke that some found offensive was (Paraphrasing), “The country is in such a mess because it’s run by women and blacks”. That isn’t meant to be funny or satire – it’s a concise fact! If people are censored for telling the truth then the world is fucked. Let him play in any venue. You know what you’re going to get when you go to see Jerry Sadowitz.

  7. Living near to Salford Quays theatre I’ve seen just about every so called comedian there is.
    The missus gets tickets otherwise I couldn’t be arsed.
    I’m a Stewart Lee fan and other than Bill Bailey and Sean Lock, the others have been average at best.
    I haven’t seen this Sadowitz fella but if he is edgy then he’s up there alone because comedy has collapsed as I knew it.
    I have to settle for amusing anecdotes now or just don’t go.

  8. Its director, Anthony Alderson, added: “The Pleasance is a venue that champions freedom of speech and we do not censor comedians’ material”.

    But this is obviously untrue, you lying cunt!
    Oliver Cromwell is alive and well, and runs a theatre in Edinburgh.
    Roundhead wanker!

  9. In the new age eutopia all comedy is band.
    Fun is banned
    Hurty feelings proliferate
    Cunts.

  10. The biggest cunt here has to be the venue for capitulating to the Woke Stasi and then talking in platitudes about “values” or some such bollocks. They should have locked the whinging cunts in a room with videos of Bernard Manning uncut playing all day, every day for a week, turned up to volume 11.

  11. The piss-pot theatre knew who he was and his material, not like he is new on the block, rather than cancelling perhaps a they should just warn punters then the cunts can’t complain.
    Too much of this cancelling after a few complaints, probably woke student types, complete cunts.

    • …they did warn the punters though. That’s the fucking stupid thing about then offering refunds to those who were’ offended’ As someone earlier pointed out…I suspect they went there with the sole intention of being offended to get him cancelled out.

      • Exactly. These cunts knew full well they weren’t going to see a Michael McIntyre type show.

        Nobody plans an evening at the theatre and pays the prices tickets are nowadays without having a damned good idea as to the type of show to expect.

        They knew precisely what they were up to. And not only were they rewarded with getting the show cancelled they received the added bonus of having their tickets refunded!

        Imo, the biggest cunt here is the theatre management.

  12. Spineless bastards. The correct response to the complaints should have been:
    ‘I’m sorry sir, madam or whatever fucking gender you are, you aren’t having your money back & we will continue to run this show for the people who want to see it. We suggest that in future, you research who you’re buying tickets for before you buy them.’
    I have long been fucking irritated by people deciding what I can laugh at, watch or read. It’s bad enough that the fucking government pokes it’s oar into my life, let alone some seen-nothing, know-nothing, snowflake cunt!

  13. I think it’s obvious that these wokie fucks bought tickets precisely because they intended to complain and get him shut down. Just like the lefties in America who snapped up free tickets to a Trump rally and then didn’t turn up, to make it look like nobody was interested. These cunts are well organised and financed and they never, ever give up. Six years later they are still crying about brexit and Trump. Follow the money my friends, that reveals what the plan is.

  14. He’s not that funny but nobody should be cancelled.

    He was punched after coming onstage in Canada and greeting them with, “Good evening, moose-fuckers!”
    If the Canucks didn’t like this, they shouldn’t fuck mooses.

  15. No idea, nor do I care who the cunt is, but, when you have warnings before the start of ‘Porridge’ and ‘Dad’s Army’, you know something’s gone very wrong somewhere.

    • Add to that, Bless this house, George and Mildred, Man about the house. All the re-runs have a warning at the start of those now.

      Sensitive cunts nowadays.

  16. The woke mob is made up of very unhappy, hate-filled people and therefore they have no sense of humor.

  17. Sadowitz isn’t well known these days. I actually thought he had retired and lived in seclusion. His cancelling has only created a Streisand Effect, ie. people who had no awareness of him now do. It’s the same when anyone gets cancelled – it has the OPPOSITE effect and makes previously uninterested people to now be interested in the cancelled personage! D’oh!

  18. We could have ended up with woke venues and normal venues. Except that lots of venues are owned by lefty councils who can’t wait to cancel people. Maybe some of the wealthy isac members could open a theatre in their grounds?

  19. It’d be quite amusing if these weaklings had the ceiling fall in on them.

    Then Jerry pissed on their mangled bodies.

  20. I can still see and hear Roy Chubby Brown saying, “I’m not a gynaecologist, but I’ll have fuckin’ good look at it for ya”. No need to ask my thoughts for money back.

  21. I saw Jerry Sadowitz once. Amazing close-up card magician. He asked a fat bird to pick a card then, as she was reaching for it, he said “actually, not you.” And then offered the cards to another woman. “Why not me?” enquires Rotundo, entirely understandably.
    “Because you’re too fat” says Jerry.
    And continues with the card trick as the cake fan sits there quietly yet obviously crying!
    Fucking brutal…😄

  22. I liked Frank Skinner when he started out.
    But for some reason he saddled himself with dead weight unfunny David Baddeil,
    Then went a bit woke and poker faced.

    Here’s a blast from the past,
    The comedians Ken Goodwin
    https://youtu.be/GZuaKhafUmU

    • My 2 favourite jokes of ken’s are the dead horse and not letting the pigeons out. Used to visit Tib Street has a kid. Animals in every shop window and place stank.

      • Sammy@

        Ken’s jokes are clean and sometimes a bit shite but it’s HOW he tells them isn’t it?
        Can’t help but smile🙂
        Likeable bloke wasn’t he?

    • JM, crying with laughter!
      Just brilliant!
      “Keep the fucking egg”, oh my days.

  26. Bernard Manning would get 10 years nowadays.

    Embassy Club, Manchester, circa early 1990s. I have been to see him, but I wasn’t there the night this happened, but an old friend was.

    (Black gentleman is sitting at a table near the front with his white mates – paraphrasing here, but here goes)

    Good evenin’ …and fucking hell. You’re fucking brave aren’t you. Aye up lads we’ve got a dark key in.

    (Crowd goes ‘Yaaaay!’)

    What’s your name son?

    Derek.

    Derek eh? Where you from Derek?

    Barnsley.

    Barnsley eh? You havin’ a good night son?

    Yes thanks.

    Good to get out and see a show int’ it?

    Yes.

    Good to have a few beers and unwind int’ it?

    Yes.

    Nice to spend time with friends eh?

    It is, yes.

    (Pause)

    Beats swinging through fucking trees dunt it?

    (Place erupted by all accounts and some were gasping for air, plenty of beer spat out – the dark fella took it well and stayed for the rest of the show.)

  27. Years ago I saw Warren Mitchell’s stage show “The Thoughts of Chairman Alf”. Fuck me, he was so funny I had the guts ache from laughing. There’s no way you could put that show on today, completely out of the question.
    “Innit fair eh? Innit bleeding fair.”

  28. Wish I had learnt years ago that is pays fat dividends to stand up on stage, dress like a cunt, talk like a cunt and be a cunt.

  29. That’s the problem with comedy in modern Britain, the crowd is usually made up of at least a few of the Twitter stasi; Young(ish), hip and woke-as-fuck.

    Michael McIntyre is probably considered an ‘edgy incel’ by now.
