“Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” the comedian Dave Chappelle quipped on Saturday at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, the first event of its kind in Saudi Arabia. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.”
There’s a few who were invited and turned them down. Mike Birbiglia was the most notable to me, but I’m also familiar with Shane Gillis, Michelle Wolf, and Stavros Halkias. Atsuko Okatsuka, Toni Nagy, Leslie Liao, Nimesh Patel, and Tim Dillon have also announced they turned down the offer, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen their shows.
Stavy turned it down? Nice
Thanks, knowing who turned it down is as important as knowing who accepted. I’m a big fan of Birbiglia and Michelle Wolf, so I’m glad they had the integrity to pass.
Tim Dillon did accept it, they canceled his spot when he accidentally/mistakenly advertised he would be in Abu Dhabi and they got offended.
Jesus Christ, he just pulled the most heinous shit out of his ass. His quotes were legitimately monstrous, truly inexcusable. To sum it up, he can get over EVERYTHING, as long as he’s being paid enough. No morals, no real beliefs. Is he even a person? Are people like that even really people? I would argue that they’re not. There is no point to Tim Dillon.
Tim Dillon took the offer but pulled some Tim Dillon shit on his podcast and was asked not to participate. He got a few bucks anyhow and per his own words, was forced into the bosoms of Iran now.
I used to know some Iranian women during my clubbing days. There are far worse fates. Also, there traditional method of avoiding pregnancy was quite charming and congenial.
Okay I’m curious now. Anal?
Nimesh Patel is decently funny. I was disappointed when I heard that he accepted to go, glad he cancelled.
