He just won the Fringe. Its the most talked about thing, which is what they all want in the end. The BBC have a hate thing for Sadowitz, he did a 6 episode comedy for BBC2 back in the 90s, and they blanket banned him swearing they won't show it ever again.

I'm not.. enormously sure that there is a context where taking your penis out and shouting racial slurs is acceptable?

Got to question what the theatre thought they were getting when they booked the "I take my penis out and shout racial slurs" show, whether or not they should have.

keep punching joe posted:Pulled his cock out and used a racial slur about Rishi Sunak. gently caress off with your "truth to power" poo poo, that's just straight up racism. Sunak deserves all the abuse he gets for being a oval office and the cunty things he does. He doesn't deserve to be abused because he's not white - nobody does. Also it wasn't just Sunak that Sadowitz went for, apparently. As per SG's link: "He called Rishi Sunak a ‘p***’ and said the economy was awful because it is run ‘by blacks and women’"

We Are The World but it's Simon Evans, Geoff Norcott, Leo K. Arse, Andrew Doyle, Count Dankula, Paul Joseph Watson, Graham Linehan, and Roy 'Chubby' Brown linking arms on stage with their faildicks hanging out and singing bad words for Indonesians to music.

i assume it's just one venue that's had palpitations but sadowitz is sadowitz and the day he actually starts getting blacklisted (more than he allready is) is legit the day we need to all step back and take a deep breath. it's highly, deeply, provocatively offensive and it's meant to be

Yeah most of the panel show circuit seems to be defending it with "I don't know the context but I'm sure there was a good artistic reason for the slur". Wonder how long it'll be before a recording gets out and the "Ah... Well nethertheless"ing kicks off. The only sort of reasonable context I can think of is if he were doing an ironic bit about racist tories being conflicted by BAME right wing MPs (or something along those lines) but... That's both very unlikely and still not a good justification.

I saw Sadowitz late 1980s or early 90s down the Marquee. He was not funny. Not in the slightest. No redeeming features whatsoever. But he didn't get his willy out.

It's the easiest thing in the world to prime a drunk audience with a good opener and then shock them with jokes where the 'joke' is racism. I know people like the guy, but when everyone's posting examples of the exact oval office thing he said, and the worst people in the world are coming to his defence, at some point you have to admit that maybe he's just a oval office?

As for it being a lazy joke, apparently it was part of a close-up magic routine, so I imagine it was probably a sleight of hand joke about it slipping out (people have obseved he's done this routine before) rather than running about the stage. But then he has also done that before. I'm far less bothered by the cock (which the audience were warned about) than I am at reading the racism and the 'ironic' bigotry he's fallen into. Flagging a show for nudity seems fair enough, but I think we get jnto pretty hosed territory if we say you can flag a show for offensiveness and then be as racist in it as you like. E: if i'm not being clear enough the audience were warned there'd be male nudity, and I don't think there's anything wrong with nudity with warnings. I do however think the bigotry is lazy and I don't think there's ever an excuse for it even if you warn your audience the show will contain it. They're not the same thing.

Sadowitz maybe used to ride the line well once, but times have changed. the point, in as much as there is one, is a lot of comedy nerd types often think they'll laugh at anything, that being provocative is the point of being comedian (eg. gervais etc) and he's turning that on his head and finding that no this is actually just really offensive and you do have lines that i will find and i will cross them and make you uncomfortable if it was playing out al murray the pub landlord style to stadium audiences laughing down through barred teeth then yeah it's time to move on, but playing tiny venues with dripping wet comedy cultists who are mostly slightly to the left of mao is a slightly different vibe. but enough defending the indefensible tbh, it is what it is. you are correct that the sky is not falling, i guess im more surprised that a venue booked jerry loving sadowitz and then had the balls to release a statement saying he didn't 'represent their values' good god at any point did you think he would?

He's a good comedian/magician but these comedians just need to understand that even if you believe you are making some great and witty point by using these terrible slurs, it doesn't justify it and it's time to just put them in the bin

I think I've posted this before, at a science fiction convention a few years ago there was a 'variety' night (for want of a better word) and this young woman of Asian descent (ed to explain why she used the word) billed as comedy just started rambling on about her small punani and how she loved Jewish cock. Totally unfunny - and I'm not a prude. I walked out closely followed by quite a few others.

Sadowitz maybe used to ride the line well once, but times have changed. Oh, he's undoubtedly a oval office, but I'm not sure being a oval office should be a disqualifying factor for a career in comedy is all. Not being funny is a far graver sin, which is where Davison & Norcott & Gervais fall down. I don't agree with Doug Stanhope's libertarian world view & I'm sure I'd not like to hang around with him on a social level but he's very funny on stage. Would I call anyone a paki on stage? No, but then I'm not particularly funny either so it's a moot point. Would I want to go to a show with ironic racial slurs? No, which is why I didn't have a ticket to see Jerry Sadowitz. I just think going to a Sadowitz show & then complaining that he's been offensive is loving stupid. Of course he has, that's the act. Don't buy the ticket, don't book the guy at your venue. Mostly I'm just mad that it's something for the incredible tedious Jonathan Pie cunts of the world to go on about. Could do without hearing that.
