That's my point though, you can't just say/do anything because you're a comedian.

 

If Jerry Sadowitz actually believes what he says, then he's a racist. Just because he says it on a stage doesn't change that. 

Awa 'an hae yer fuckin' tea min.  Geez a' a break.

Please do.  I'd come see you. I'd laugh like fuck.  You'd be safe I'm sure.

Everybody does but lots won't admit it.  Rank hypocrisy.

I don't understand why folk wouldn't admit to it. The thing about going to see Sadowitz is that you hear this constant 'gasping' by people before they laugh. It's like they can't believe he said something but then realise that what he has said is funny. But..., the only reason folk gasp is because they have been conditioned to think a certain way ie some subjects are off limits for humour. That's just bullshit. 

Because they are virtue signallin' hypocrites.  Fuckin' cowards as well.  Fuckin' runnin' scared to say the wrong thing or admit that they are not quite as virtuous as they'd like to have folk believe.  Fuckin pathetic humans.

Not in that scenario. For a comedian to be investigated someone would have to make a complaint. In your example you're directly messaging a threat to your intended target. 

But if it's a joke what's the problem?

If it's a joke there should be no problem.  The end.

Well that's the thing, what you say has ramifications. 
 

Slapping comedy on it doesn't change that. 
 

It is disappointing he's not allowed to play, and I don't agree with it, but he's not got a god given right to be anywhere. 
 

 

[CCB III]

Just now, Sooper-hanz said:

You can't just tweet threats to folk and expect to get away with it because 'it was a joke'. It's about context. It's reasonable to assume that people paying to see a comedian are going there to be entertained. 

So you can be as racist, homophobic, misogynistic, expose yourself to folk, and it's all good cause it's entertainment? 
 

I agree if it's purely a stage persona and it's ironic, and purely for laughs, that's cool. 
 

If the boy Sadowitz is like that in real life, then it seems he's a bit of a cunt. 

[Hairdrier]

Sadowitz was always gratuitously offensive and off the scale - that is the whole point of his show. He's been doing it for decades.

The politically correct brigade in the BBC were probably behind banning him.

Aye, I bet these fuckers plant folk in the audience for just that purpose.  Fuck the TV license.

The venue booked him. 

And they can unbook him, totally up to them. 
 

You don't have to agree with it, you can make the argument about self expression, but society has changed and most people no longer want their comedians to be racist, misogynistic or whatever for a laugh. 
 

People will say shit like "it's PC gone mad" or it's woke cancel culture or fitever, but it's just a change, what people liked 50 years ago is different to now, and it might change again.

So the pleasance has issued a new statement.

Nothing to do with his cock it seems.

 

Seems odd that they didn't know the content, but it's a well known act.

Strange all round.

@CCB III

Who decides on what is acceptable?

You're far too young I'd assume to know who Mary Whitehouse was.

We'd have missed out on brilliant comedians like Dave Allen or Billy Connolly if she'd had her way.

There will, I'd assume, be a gazillion Liz truss and Boris Johnson jokes being made, prince Andrew too given the weather, at the fringe.

No one will bat an eyelid.

Huh?

[Guest milne_afc]

What is ‘global majority’?

[Simply Red]

This sort of nanny state censorship can fuck off. It’s comedy so shouldnt be taken seriously however offensive it is to some folk.

No one is being forced to go to a Sadowitz gig.

His ‘offensive’ language and jokes dont offend Jerry Sadowitz fans who pay to watch him do a gig. 

Niche acts being banned cos self-righteous bores think we should all have the same morals when it comes to something as subjective as comedy should never be pandered to like this. 

You can think its immoral/offensive/shite/not funny but none of that is a valid reason for a comedy act to be banned. 

(Russell Howard better be banned after this)

I certainly won 't. Going to see him in October and if he doesn't have at least half the audience walking out disgusted I'll be well disappointed.

Crucial words in their statement: “in our view”

Expect more of this bullshit in our dystopian future coming from all directions.

They obviously can’t DO anything they want, they couldn’t murder someone in the name of comedy and get away with it. I was specifically referring to your example of taking a shit on stage. Is that even illegal? Foul, disgusting, yes but illegal!?

Words are fair game though. We’ve seen a few attacks on comedy recently, part of an agenda no doubt. The Chris Rock / Will Smith ‘incident’, Jimmy Carr gypsies joke and now Sadowitz. We are in dangerous times.

Not as dark as that. My pals are a decent bunch of lads and know where to stop.

There are a couple of them that churn out the sick jokes on whatsapp group but never tend to get much traction.

Its just not really acceptable these days, whether that’s right or not.
