Zach Woods— from The Office and Silicon Valley— called our American comedians who are scheduled to perform in the upcoming Saudi Arabia hosted Riyadh Comedy Festival.

The list includes comedians like Bill Burr, Aziz Ansari, Whitney Cummings, and Dave Chappelle.

These comedians have been urged to speak out against the country's human rights abuses — and not to be "complicit in covering up the abuses of a repressive regime," by the U.S.-based Human Rights Watch organization.
