  1. Guaranteed, every single one of those comedians is gonna tell their own version of the “I don’t care, you should see the house I’m buying with this gig” joke at the festival.

  2. Yeah. But money. And money is money. Did I mention money? You wouldn’t catch bill burr doing something for money after recently criticizing the 1%. Oh wait

  3. David cross is the man. These sellout comedians are crap. There I said it real simple for all you red hat folks.

  4. I never thought I’d be in a timeline where Shane Gillis was the good guy and Bill Burr wasn’t, but here we are.

  5. I’m gonna miss listening to Jimmy Carr. But he can wank off with Louis CK . And Pete Davidson needs to get back on drugs if he forgot about his Dad already. Thanks for 9/11 Saudi Arabia

  6. I’m gonna miss watching 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

  7. David Cross is intelligent, insightful, thoughtful and articulate. On the other hand he has never made me laugh.

  8. Being in every single commercial for the last 2 or 3 years isn’t enough for Kevin hart.

  11. Golfers get a pass though. Interesting. I mean Saudi money is Saudi money.

  12. I’m just so disappointed in bill man he’s the only one I’m shocked by

  13. Burr is the one who most destroyed his rep. He was the fighter for the common man! The closest no non sense tell it like it is take no BS guy closest to taking the Carlin mantle as it came

    And he’s now just another sleezy greedy selfish degenerate.

    F Bill Burr.

  14. When Gabriel wants to rollerblade, Gabriel rollerblades, Mr. Osama bin Jerkhead

  15. You can tell that David Cross is super disappointed in his comedy idol, Jimeoin.

  17. Can someone explain the outrage. The USA sells alot of weapons to Saudi how is that ok but this isnt

  18. Pete Davidson is out here getting hired to be a comedian?

    What gives

  19. US Sports in Saudi = completely fine
    US Comedy in Saudi = completely unacceptable

  20. Wonder if Davidson will make jokes about the Saudis killing his dad.

  21. Tell me how they’re different than court jesters.

  22. Can someone explain the issue, I’m so out of the loop right now

  23. If one is taking moral guidance from a comedian it’s likely one is also a stone cold moron who should be a ward of the state.

  24. Who cares. These old ass comedians are a bunch of cry babies. They’re the only ones shedding light on the Riyadh thing. If it wasn’t for them none of us would hear about it.

  27. The fact that Pete Davidson is going to go do jokes for the guys who killed his dad is fucking demented.

  28. Maybe unpopular opinion but why are *comedians* supposed to be the conscientious objectors here?

    I know so many people who have worked there, including a guy who pulled his whole family up from poverty because of how much he made there.

    Especially for Americans, we have no moral high ground here. They are one of our government ‘s client state for 50+ years.

    How is doing a show in KSA any different from a show in Hong Kong?

  29. I just hope all those comedians at least realize they’re being used.

  31. I don’t particularly like Cross, but I agree with him here.
