Non-Riyadh comedy
#RiyadhComedy

You are either an ally or you’re not. You’re either anti oppression or you’re not . The “we all have to try to get on” “two sides” people will say when people call them on it they are being cancelled , no , it’s called consequences. Hope the money was worth it #harrypotter #riyadhcomedy

‘Amoral, evil’: vitriolic backlash builds against comics who played Riyadh festival Murder by bone-saw, lashings for rape victims, punishment amputation, jail for satirists … these are the Saudi human rights abuses fuelling the fury being directed at the likes of Louis CK, Dave Chapp...

I'm fascinated that while we're in the middle of plowing through human rights violations like a list of achievements in our own country fighting to not become as openly brutal as the Saudis. Bill Burr defends performing there by saying 'they're just like us! '

What a joke those comedians!

Louis CK defends decision to perform at Riyadh comedy festival as ‘a good opportunity’ Comedian admits to mixed feelings but says event is a ‘positive thing’ despite human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia

In "I have a friend who's gay and in a wheelchair' news, the despicable & disreputable Louis C.K says, “There’s a woman who’s a lesbian and Jewish, who did a show there, and she got a standing ovation.” So mudering journalists is OK then. #soerigorm #riyadhcomedy www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Besides David Cross and Marc Maron any other prominent comics or writers calling out #riyadhcomedy festival attendees?

The good thing about the #RiyadhComedy festival is to remind people that these comedians aren't these idealistic freedom fighters that people perceive - or want - them to be. At the end of the day, they are just folks trying to make as much money as they can. Not one surprise - okay, one! (Asis)
