JERRY SADOWITZ
SUNDAY MAY 9
WHITES TAVERN 9.00PM


Plenty of comedians these days will slap the phrase “not for the easily offended” across their tour posters and live videos if they think it will help sales. With Jerry Sadowitz the warning reaches whole new levels of importance.

This is no sales gimmick. It’s simply the nature of the man and the style of his shows. There is little doubt about it, Jerry Sadowitz IS the world’s most offensive comedian. Jerry simply refuses to bow at the alter of political correctness at a time when this approach is a positive career handicap. Nonetheless the Jerry cult continues to grow, built on a mixture of reputation, word-of-mouth and his television success with “The Pall Bearer’s Revue” (BBC2), “The People vs. Jerry Sadowitz” (Ch 5) and “The Jerry Atrick Show” (Ch 5).

Maybe it’s because people need some kind of anti-shamen figure to give vent to their frustrations, maybe it’s because he is simply one of the most naturally gifted comedians in the country. Whatever, this really is a show that has to be seen to be believed. We guarantee jaws will drop during the course of this hour. And rapturous applause will ensue. Again, if you’re easily offended we respectfully suggest you give this a miss.
