💨 Abstract

Jewish comedians Rachel Creeger and Philip Simon had their shows canceled at the Edinburgh Fringe due to safety concerns. Their shows, "Ultimate Jewish Mother" and "Jew-O-Rama," were scheduled at Whistlebinkies bar. The venue cited safety fears and police supervision as reasons for the cancellation, despite no actual threats. The comedians, who have faced similar issues before, expressed disappointment and financial hardship.
