He may be a monster, but at least he's talented.

Was cancelling Jerry Sadowitz's Fringe show justified?

For context: I have never seen Jerry Sadowitz's penis.

Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 15th August 2022

Why did the Edinburgh Fringe cancel Jerry Sadowitz?

I suppose it was inevitable that cancel culture would eventually catch up with Jerry Sadowitz.

Tom Slater, The Spectator, 15th August 2022

Jerry Sadowitz often pushes boundaries, but that's exactly the point

The comedian offers one of the purest forms of risqué comedy out there.
