    You’re not wrong. These comedians have made their choices. For money, against integrity.

    You’re not wrong about capitalism, either, but is that a valid reason to just do anything for money?

    Here’s the line-up btw (not complete I guess):

    The Riyadh Comedy Festival features an exciting lineup of comedians including Jimmy Carr, Louis C.K., Tom Segura, Mo Amer, Mark Normand, Russell Peters, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jo Koy, Jeff Ross, Jack Whitehall, Aries Spears, Pete Davidson, Sugar Sammy, Zarna Garg, Andrew Schulz, Sam Morril, Hannibal Buress, Chris Tucker, Ben Hart, and Wayne Brady.
