Woke Asian Guy and Egg White Ep 46: Edinburgh Fringe 2022 and Being Offended‪.‬ Woke Asian Guy and Egg White

Wokie and Egg White talk about the Jerry Sadowitz incident in Edinburgh Fringe 2022 that was the talk of the town. Does this mean comedy is going backwards and does the word ‘Fringe’ need to be removed from the Edinburgh Fringe as it looks to be going towards safe comedy and moving far away from its roots. We chat it out so lend us your ears.ShownotesIn the 90’s Mark Thomas, in his TV Show Comedy product,  drove a tank through McDonalds. That right.
