A little late to the post but I was in attendance. He opened up with some pretty funny jokes about how Trump is a convicted felon and so America is a shit show compared to us. Those got laughs, obviously.
But then he jumped into how Trudeau made everyone get numerous vaccines and called it a “scam-demic” with no real punchline, which was enough for the crowd (including me) to start realizing that this guy was a moron and his set would be a trainwreck. He then moved to transphobia saying that “back in my day we liked our women without penises” and told an anecdote about how he told his son, who is “bad at sports” to say he is a girl to get a better chance.
Then said that biology says otherwise and that there is no proper word for people with vaginas anymore. Then he discussed how the New York Times is nuts for using the term “menstruating people.” Typical transphobic dumbassery and most of it was an attempt at indoctrination rather than comedy. He also endorsed Robert Kennedy Jr. to a crowd of Canadians, lol.
The rest was kind of tame but the crowd wasn’t laughing. He harped on how “wives/women” do XYZ and Men have to put up with it. Typical old school and overdone “being married sucks” schtick and obviously offensive but still kind of tame compared to the other stuff. Then he told a story about his vasectomy which would have been kind of funny if not prefaced with all of the other shit.
They cut him off early after that, but it was after the vasectomy story. He was floundering bad and kept looking at his notes to try to figure out what to talk about. I think he was realizing he had burned through stories and ran out of jokes. He said he had one more story, and that’s when the host told him that they had run out of time and had to get to the after party. One person did film his set too, and he told them (IMO in a serious way) to stop doing that and that he would put it on YouTube himself.
The organizer of the event came up afterwards and said that no organizer of the event agrees with his views and apologized. Said they might do a musical act next year.
"I got a new song I want to try out with y’all. It’s called Kill Cancer." He opens the secret box on his mic stand and takes out a LIMITED EDITION 24K GOD EMPEROR TRUMPGOLD AR-15. He holds it like a Marine ready to fire. The audience is panicked. “Don’t worry. It ain’t loaded. See?..” He points it at the spotlights and he pulls the trigger: bullets fly, lights explode, and electronics pop. The audience is screaming. “Oops,” he says.
CW: What he said - transphobia
Does anyone know any details about the Rob Schneider debacle at the Conexus Arts Centre on the weekend? : regina
