Pusillanimous Pleasance

Excellent article by Alex Massie on the pusillanimous performance of The Pleasance:

Having agreed to host the comic, then, there is something witless and pusillanimous about cancelling his show on the same grounds used to promote it in the first place: this is a challenging, offensive, performance that will — or should, at any rate — leave an audience feeling deeply uncomfortable. The Pleasance asked would-be customers if they were tough enough for Sadowitz — never underestimate the thrill of transgression — only to then conclude the Pleasance wasn’t tough enough for him itself.
