Roy Wood Jr. Encourages Comedians to Find Their Niche Audience in the Cancel Culture Age

EXCERPT:

WOOD JR.: “I think that anyone who doesn’t want to hear something has an absolute right to voice their opinion on that. I don’t — as far as I can tell, no comedian is going to jail for anything they’ve said. They’ve had to bear the brunt of strangers’ opinions. That’s free speech, that’s the free market, that’s all in the game. And I think that people should have a right to that, and at the end of the day it’s about what the market wants, and if certain people don’t want to hear that, you can’t play that venue but it doesn’t mean you can’t go find the people that want to hear what you’re talking about. So just work a little harder as a comic to find the people that want to hear what you’re saying or change up what you’re saying but I don’t think that there is this ideology that you did the wrong joke and you can never make a dollar ever again in life. You got to find the people.”
