On stage, Dave Chappelle chose to speak out against the threats to free speech in the United States at the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia, adding he feared returning to his home country.

In front of 6,000 audience members, the comedian is part of over 50 artists invited to the event, as he says, “Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,”

 The 52-year-old adds. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.” He then added, “It’s easier to talk here than it is in America.”

“They’re going to do something to me so that I can’t say what I want to say,” The Closer star notes.
