This one goes out to all the prostitutes disguised as comics who performed at the Saudi Arabia Comedy Festival. Or the ‘Riyadh Comedy Festival’ as they call it to take away from the horrible branding that would be, if they called it the ‘Saudi Arabia’ comedy festival. Here’s the message from a fellow comic: Don’t ever even pretend to judge anyone else. Your days of doing that, are over. You’re a whore.
To all these performers who took the money, I know you’re going to wrap yourself up in a ‘peace and love’ message, but you’re a whore. You know and we all know it. IF it was about ‘Peace and Love’? You would have done the gig for free. Or at least just travel expenses. But you didn’t did ya? Nope. You went for the money. And that’s fine! Take that fat ass paycheck. Just know that doing that makes you a street whore.
The issues with these shows are many! Freedom of Speech, Slavery, Class warfare. And guess what? Take all of those issues off your set list. You can’t talk shit about those. The Saudi people handed you a list of taboo subjects. The modern-day slaves took care of you in Saudi Arabia, and you made a pile of money. You’re a hypocrite and a whore. Americans tend to notice stuff like that. You can’t put a price tag on credibility and trust. You all fucked up. Big time.
It’s all just sad really. These are some people I kind of admired. Oh well, live and learn. It’s good to know that everyone has a price. Maybe the next time one of these idiots tries to take the moral high ground we can toss a handful of dollars at em and get em to shut up. Money talks and bullshit walks. And there’s a lot of bullshitters walking around. A LOT!
Shane Gillis passed on the event. Good call.
Pete Davidson went. And told jokes. Pete Davidson.
I enjoyed the discussion about this on the Wednesday livestream. It’s disgusting that these comedians have sold out free speech and human rights for a hefty paycheck. I will not look at them in the same light again.
Dave Chapelle actually said he had more free speech there than in the US. Really Dave? I saw the list of banned subjects and it was extensive. I agree that that these guys have sold their credibility to the highest bidder and shouldn’t talk about these subjects ever again. I can’t imagine what other fellow comics think of them. I’m glad you had the chance to say your peace and it was well done.
did a video about it for tonight’s youtube. It’s all too much. LOL!
