And that’s basically it!
Did he actually make any references to trans issues? Are there recordings of this comedy festival?
I ask because that line "my anti-trans jokes went over very well in Saudi Arabia” sounds to me like an intentional troll, a way to say that he got to talk about whatever he wants while poking fun at the controversy he stirred up a few years ago. As a joke in and of itself, that works even if he didn't actually have any trans jokes in his set.
He made the remarks in his new special, so presumably they were part of his jokes and dark humor. Has anyone seen it to say otherwise?
Did y'all read the article? He disses Israel, so you should be able to say, "a broken clock," at least.
