Comics face fury. Hidden truth behind Riyadh shows?
Several comedians are facing strong criticism. This follows their performances at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. Critics call their actions "amoral" and "evil."
Some stars are already feeling the heat. David Cross slammed Bill Burr for performing there. This backlash highlights a deep disagreement about free speech. Many feel these arguments do not apply here.
Louis C.K., who also performed, sold out a show in San Francisco. This happened despite the controversy. The festival aimed to attract global talent and boost Saudi Arabia's image.
The debate continues about accountability for artists. Future events may face similar scrutiny as the lines blur.
