The New York Comedy Club canceled a performance by comedian Ari Shaffir after the organization received threats due to the performer’s off-color remarks about late athlete Kobe Bryant.
Shaffir, who previously hosted Comedy Central’s This Is Not Happening before Roy Wood Jr. replaced him in the role, was scheduled to perform Tuesday night, a representative for the club confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter, but the club canceled his booking and will not be working with him in the future after learning about a joke that Shaffir had tweeted. The club did not provide a comment on the record. Shaffir had performed the previous Saturday at the club’s Midtown location.
Shaffir really doesn’t have much he can say about this.
