PxtlDave Chappelle Criticizes Free Speech in America at Saudi Arabia Comedy Festival
wildflowerJim Jefferies, Jimmy Carr, Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson… I was surprised to see these names on the lineup, what a bunch of sellouts.
This is from their contracts (found on www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-30/…/105833686):
What is the Riyadh Comedy Festival? The Saudi Arabia event stirring controversy in Hollywood
The Riyadh Comedy Festival stars A-list comedians like Peter Davidson, but despite its blockbuster acts, it has copped backlash for what one human rights organisation says is a "whitewashing" of a "brutal repression of free speech".
Ensign_CrabJimmy Carr isn’t a surprise.
moondoggieDo jump scares count as surprises? If so, then frequently.
lichtmetzgerYup, that guy just looooves the money. At least he openly admits it in his performances.
He was named in the tax evasion offshore account. The cunt is a traitor to his own country.
M137I couldn’t give less of a fuck if anyone’s a traitor to their own country in that way. The tax evasion is bad because of ethics, not because he “betrayed his country”. It didn’t have any effect on his lifestyle but he chose to do it anyway, it’s all about him being a greedy fuck and not about Nationalism.
but how the fuck do you enrich yourself and not give back to your country? who else is paying for the police, roads, schools, hospitals, and then you also get to “vote” on how it’s spent? I’m a low-wage broke fuck but I still pay taxes and that’s how the government makes me contribute to everything I and our citizens benefit from. Meanwhile, this super wealthy multi-millionare twat does not, and tax evades instead? I’m someone who contributes to, and is hurt when I see my country struggles because we’re all in this together.
You understand me right? that’s why I used the word traitor. he should be jailed and not welcomed in the UK
Jimmy is a cunt. Self admitted.
