The Riyadh Comedy Festival is making headlines. Is it comedy-washing—propping up repression, keeping women in chains, and stifling free speech—or is it genuine progress? Yanni dives into Saudi motives, money, and what’s really behind the laughs. If you’re mad about comedians taking their cash, wait until you hear who else has been pocketing Saudi money. Did the House of Saud do 9/11? Yanni breaks down all the nuance, and ultimately levies an argument that comedians are the commandos rescuing oil money for the U.S. economy—and more. Warning: lots of sarcasm in this episode as always. If you love our small show, support the production and get bonus content every week. https://www.patreon.com/yannispappashour
