    Went to watch comedian Jerry Sadowitz here in Leeds last night. Fuck me, he really doesn't have boundaries. There's nothing off-limits, but he openly says he's too far into his game to change his routine and accepts that it'll get to the point where he won't get anymore gigs. (He did suggest maybe adopting a ventriloquist routine to make the character-play more obvious).

    It's important to understand there's a character he's playing and all the racist, misogynistic, homophobic bollocks he spews is all in the name of comedy. He really was amazing, although you could see certain parts of the crowd were the 'you can't say anything these days' sort - totally not understanding the fact that being racist just isn't acceptable - ever!

    • His show got shut down in Edinburgh last year because some of the young staff at the venue couldn't handle it.PhanLo
    • yeah, like he wasn't gonna talk about that haha. But watching it, i did think 'yeah, i see why they'd not like it.'Ianbolton
    • But then, imagine accidentally seeing Jerry Sadowitz, not knowing what he's like. It's pretty racey stuff!Ianbolton
    • My mate went to the first show and thought it was good, but for a young person he's probably too wild now. Strange young people are usually pushing boundariesPhanLo
    • His stuff is pretty bananasPhanLo
    • His jokes about Diane Abbott were fucking awful, but the delivery was so amazing you couldn't help but laugh. But yeah, totally bananas!Ianbolton
    • Guess they are pushing boundaries by saying 'i can identify as whatever i choose'. Whether that's right or wrong, who knows.Ianbolton
    • Comedians aren't the ones pushing boundaries... it's the fucks whining that he's 'broken them' who have set 'boundaries' in their own narcissistic heads.PonyBoy
    • I saw him in Dundee on this tour a few weeks ago and yes, he was still brilliant, it was the EIGHTH time I've seen him too, I am sick...Gardener
