Some relatively ironic clips out there of some of these comics talking about selling out to perform for the Saudi Royal Family. Bill Burr's set about Beyoncé Knowles performance for the Saudi's is particularly sad to look back on

Fük these turncoat, dictator-loving “comedians”‼️ “They paid us enough to look the other way!” Patriotic Americans should “look away” from any performer willing to tow the Khashoggi-murderers’ line for enough filthy dollars. Or did they get paid in riyals?

Everybody is taking this as tacit approval of Saudi leadership. I'm sure being offered millions helps, but maybe there is more to it. Maybe it's cultural exchange. Maybe planting a seed of speaking openly is a way to grow a better future. Maybe they couldn't criticize MBS this time, but in 20 years?

I understand what you're saying, but at least these performers were paid for performing. Exactly what did Jared Kushner do to receive $2B? I'm guessing that if you added up all their salaries into one lump sum, it wouldn't equal anywhere near the $2B that Jared Kushner received.

From the folks that brought you 9/11, two weeks of laughter in the desert. Don’t miss it... The same guy that’s gonna pay them is the same guy that paid the guy to bone-saw Jamal Khashoggi and put him in a f---ing suitcase. - Marc Maron

I honestly don't get this one. The Saudi government does some awful things but so do a lot of other governments. If these comedians played a comedy festival in China, no one would notice. So is the rule an artist can't perform in country unless they meet our undefined moral standards?

I could not, in good conscience, entertain the thought of entertaining that regime. That proves right there that all that matters to them is the mighty dollar. They already have lots & lots & lots of them, but they always want more.

I think i want a list of how many of these guys had a "Don't cancel comedians" shtick and went over there. Fluffy did in his last show. Whole drawn out whine session about restricting freedom of speech in comedy. 😶

It’s like all the golfers who allowed and participated in LIV golf. It’s so hard to believe so many Americans are willing to sell out America for cash, no matter how dirty it is. Especially when so many had family members who fought against fascism in WW2. Boycott these comedians AND the golfers.

In Remember the Titans, Petey walked off the field b/c "excuses" and Coach Yoast said, "Forget about him! .. I don't want them to gain another yard. You BLITZ ALL NIGHT!" and I don't know what blitzing is, but I think we should focus on that instead of those whoevers #BetterDems

Most of these I did not like but I did enjoy Whitney Cummings. I am really surprised to see her on the list but I guess money makes people do strange things. Pretty stupid on her part...

bin ladens owned construction companies paid by the saudi monarchy. They have very close ties and all went to the same schools. Adnon khashoggi was a gun runner tied to the iran contra affair. His father was the saudi king doctor. Adnon was trumps/epsteins buddy. He owned a safari resort in africa.

Before agreeing to this show, each and every one of them should have asked the question, “what would George do?”. It should have been that simple. And Hart performing doesn’t surprise, but the fact Dave Chapelle went and then said what he said profoundly saddened me.

isn't her act all crowd work? Was curious how that even plays over there regardless. And I agree with you, I unfollowed her and all the others.

Jimmy Carr and Chappelle didn’t shock me at all. Burr was a surprise and a slap in the face to his fans. It just shows that the rich and famous know they will never suffer the consequences of supporting repressive regimes. They can give nice soundbites, but their actions and greed speak volumes.

I'm not going to waste any time on those people either. Why would I take lectures from those kind of people. Their words have no power or value anymore, just empty sell outs.

Zarna Garg is the one I'm most bummed about. Her content is so different than others and she's damned funny. But as God said, they're all dead to me now, even Zarna.

Fuck every single one of them. Just like with Kimmel, you must immediately cancel the transfer of your hard earned dollar to brands that will use it against you. Citizens United created Cancel Culture. There is ZERO option. If it doesmt matter enough for you to do so...shut up.

I've handled millions of dollars of other people's money in my working career. Never once felt that some of it should belong to me. I built a successful career without ever doing anything unethical. Any money I've earned was my own. And I'm happy with my choices. Respect is priceless.

Pete Davidson even made a joke about how maybe he shouldn't be there because they killed his father. He still went, he still performed, he still took their money, though. If there's a hell, you will find Pete Davidson there when he dies.

Disappointed. But easy enough to ignore them anyhoo. I don't understand why they would go over there to perform all these people have plenty of money. Why would you go and work for a terrorist organization. God really is everybody in this country a freaking sellout?

I just think it's sad . when you have a bunch of people who, some, have spent their careers touting social justice in their acts. Then do a complete 180 for cash from a repressive regime. How is it any difference than what is happening here under #project2025 and the #tRump #pedophile #sycophants

Pete Davidson said he was offered enough money to overcome his reservations. I think the one that disappoints me the most is Fluffy. But then I didn't find his last Netflix special that funny.

Sadly, we have allowed dirty money into our country, and many of the leaders of our country have been influenced in many different ways. It is difficult to evaluate the issue without further research, so I will investigate this further. Thanks!

If it brings Saudi Arabia, or larger Middle East from 7th century to modern times it’s a good thing. Davidson’s forgiveness of those who funded (Royals) &its citizens who executed the crime against his father is admirable, hopefully he’s in a good place. Chapelle lying about free speech in US is BS.
