Do you think it’s right to cancel controversial comedians? Surely if audiences don’t like the act they’ll not buy tickets - achieving the same result.

But without denying people a choice.

I don't see why not. Comedians need to be aware of their audience just as much as any other social entertainer.

Though that doesn't mean they can't be partially canceled and do fine. IE: Dave Chapelle and his beef with LGBTQ+.

@Rokasu Why? Surely only the audience gets to decide what they see?

@Ceinwyn I mean being canceled isn't exactly easy to do against a comedian unless their audience is small enough to permit it.

@Rokasu That’s true. Some comedians can be as “immoral” as they want but deliver it so cleverly people laugh.
