Show Notes

Should top comedians play Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Comedy Festival? We dig into the firestorm around free speech, ethics, and “taking the bag”—and why this story goes way beyond stand-up. Spicy debate, real questions, and zero fence-sitting.

Host: Mike Wixson

Guests: Nick Delinsky, Brady Whetham

In this episode:

• Are stars like Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, Bill Burr, and Whitney Cummings “selling out” or just doing business?

• Free speech vs. performing for an oppressive regime—hypocrisy or harmless?

• Tim Dillon’s invite saga and Shane Gillis reportedly saying “lose my number.”

• Pete Davidson’s 9/11 family history and the Saudi connection raised on the show.

• Can comedy actually influence change—or are we giving comics too much moral weight?
