      I think the last comedy special he did was a bigger turn off than his saudi deal to me.

      Comedians Mike Birbiglia, Shane Gillis, Stavros Halkias, Leslie Liao, Atsuko Okatsuka and “Weird Al” Yankovic were invited to perform, but they ultimately declined and spoke out against the event.

      Love Weird Al even more. Also:

      Okatsuka posted images of the offer she received, which she said included stipulations that the comedians could not perform material that violated certain Saudi censorship rules.[17] Restricted topics included the country itself, its legal system, the Saudi royal family, and religion.

      I ordered you to have fun or else vibes.

      Shane Gillis declined and spoke out about it? That is quite interesting.
