Comedians most days: We’re the real truth-tellers in the mold of Bill Hicks. We tell it like it is. Cancelling us is censorship!
Comedians when caught with their hand in the cookie jar: Hey, we’re just entertainers. It’s no big deal. Lighten up!

He said he looks at the slip, sees the number, and says I’ll go. These degenerate comedians think being honest about how easy they are to buy is the same as being a decent person.

Aside from bill burr (and chappelle in the 90s) none of them are actual comedians…just pathetic entertainers with a laugh track. I am disappointed with burr, but everyone else was or has been shit long time

Agreed on the Bill Burr part.
He is the only one who I was surprised and disappointed to see attending. All those others are people who’d I expect to chase money or morals and I didn’t respect as individuals already.
I wonder how he is going to spin this.

90s stand up chappelle was incredibly important for the time and place at the time

Bill Burr will literally just say the money was good so he went, I’m pretty sure. He’s never seemed like the kinda guy to invent some spin

Agreed about 90s Chappelle… I think he would have had more empathy and understanding in selecting gigs than current Chappelle.
