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?
