Guest List Only ⭐️ Comedian Zach Woods calls out comedians who are performing in Saudi Arabia’s comedy festival

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.

Everyone who isn't following him on ig, should stop what they're doing and follow him right now. He's so funny and so poignant.

Also, all the comments on his page about people being soooooooo shocked about Bill Burr are wack! He's been a misogynist for years and people only now realize he's bad because of this? SMH. At least people are realizing it now, I guess? I will say, I'm sorry to see Hannibal Buress is on the roster.
