Well that's that sorted, as I hadn't gotten a ticket. I'd not heard good reviews of this version of the band, but, it is their first time here, probably should have gotten a ticket.

Went a bit overboard on Friday night 
Internal Rot - Mental Hygiene (LP)
Grieving Birth (LP)
Demilich - Nespithe(LP)
Gets worse - Snubbed (lp), Teen wolf (cd)
Nomadic rituals - Tides (lp)
Gawthorp - Jumbo (cd)
Pre ordered
Vaura - Нормальный человек (A Normal Man) (cd)

Ah fuck I'd no idea this was on! Are gigs just not being promoted now outside a few posts on social media?

Correct.

Very tempting line up.

I have to look this guy up. Is he funny as well as being offensive? I find if it's just endless misery and spite it can get a bit tedious, but if there's actual creativity in the mix I'm on board.

Flat out offensive.  There are jokes, but it's full on cause the most offence.

This could also fit in the "The PC..." thread but I'll stick it here.

Sadowitz has always pushed the boundaries with his stand-up shows. This is nothing new. I remember watching his TV stuff in the 1990s and even then wondering "How has someone commissioned this without thinking that there won't be complaints?!"

What's bemusing here is the the fact that;

A. Sadowitz has being doing this sort of thing for nearly 40 years, it's not as if he's a new comedian emerging on the scene. He's a known quantity.
B. There were (apparently) warnings posted all over the venue, on the booking website and on the ticket itself noting that if you were of a sensitive predisposition to stay away from the gig.
C. The Pleasance (the venue) are saying that the house staff were the ones that are leading the charge in cancelling the show. However - Sadowitz had done a full technical run-through of the show - because he's a master magician - FOR THE STAFF OF THE VENUE! No one complained. Yet when people start making noise on Twitter about this show - they all lump in.

The show is even called "Jerry Sadowitz: Not For Anyone" for fuck sake.

Comedy as an art-form is in fear of becoming moribund. We'll be left with Brendan O'Carroll and Neil Delamere if we're not careful.

Saw Jerry Sadowitz at fringe fest good few years back.
Never seen so many walk outs. Even warned my wife, her sister & husband before, said he will push buttons. They all left too. Surprised it took this long for the cancelling.

Not read the comics, but my wife had it on. Just looked like lots of emo teen angst waffle. Nothing was happening.  Accurate?

I'll still give it a go

Gas gear acquiring syndrome.  There's another form I do browse, and always looking at stuff I don't need. Then I think, hmm, could sell something on Adverts then buy something new. But not a necessity.

Also Antigama have a new album out too

So this is Dave's new band. Also ex Entombed Ad & Decapitated people. It's very mundane at best.

Watched The Sadness last night. Taiwanese "Zombie"/ infected populous film. Very bloody/ violent from the get go. Practical effects to, no cgi rubbish.

Finished current season of The boys. Uneven ending.  But one bit was truly brilliant.
