John Mulaney has postponed his upcoming standup shows in Minneapolis amid unrest in the city following the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer. The comedian had been scheduled to play three shows at the Armory beginning Friday; those dates have now been rescheduled for April.
“I hate to postpone shows in a town going through such awful challenges and such grief, because it feels unfair to the audience, Mulaney said in a social media post. “Still, I don’t feel comfortable asking thousands of people each night to leave their homes, gather at the venue, and then make their way home when the situation is so unsafe.”
“I am sorry to anyone who is disappointed. I know a fun stand-up show could be a nice distraction, but it doesn’t sit right with me to put anyone at risk.”
