"Local comedian Jim Jefferies, made famous for his material regarding copious consumption of drugs, alcohol and engaging in premarital sex - no doubt the material a lot of Saudis audience could relate to - was thrown out the festival after making comments on a podcast about Jamaal Khashoggi murder."
"So what? An authoritarian regime that has murdered journalists and promotes slavery giving you wheelbarrows of cash for a 20 minute set?"
