The Riyadh Comedy Festival kicks off this weekend in Saudi Arabia with a huge slate of well-known comedians, including Bill Burr, Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, Aziz Ansari, Jim Jefferies, Hannibal Buress, and many others. Not among those attending? Marc Maron, who was not asked, for obvious reasons ; Stavros Halkias, who has been giving his other comedy buddies guff for accepting an invitation; and Shane Gillis, because “you don’t 9/11 your friends.”

Interestingly, that did not stop Pete Davidson from accepting an invitation to whitewash the human rights abuses of Saudi Arabia, despite the fact that Saudi Arabia funded the very attacks on America on 9/11 that resulted in the death of Davidson’s firefighter father.
