So cool that they’ve burnished their international image with that whole comedy festival thing 🙄

I’ve tried putting myself in the mind of a performer, especially a comedian, who would trust they get to leave after their act. Greed is a hell of a drug.

Don’t forget the sports washing angle with golf, football, boxing and motorsport.

Don’t forget about sports in general. Happy Bud Crawford won his boxing match but was sick to see that prince salaman with him in his corner

They should focus on their strengths and make an execution variety show. Death sports with whacky commentary.
