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.
