If venue staff "feel unsafe" just imagine how the acts themselves must feel. This is truly frightening and awful. Either Jewish comedians are being deliberately silenced and/or there are credible threats against them, and both of those possibilities are disturbing.
@PhilipsComedy and @RachCreeger are hurt and saddened by this shocking cancellation of Jewish voices and hope alternative venues can be found. More info to follow as we have it. Thank you for your support.
With just over a week to go till the start of this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, we are devastated to announce that @PhilipsComedy's Jewish compilation show Jew-O-Rama and @RachCreeger's solo show Ultimate Jewish Mother will no longer be part of the line up.
Despite having worked with the venue foryears, managers at Whistlebinkies have cited bar staff discomfort at hosting Jewish shows, leaving both performers out in the wilderness. https://t.co/fWIDbozRTc
