Andrew Schulz's Comedy Special Canceled After Trump Interview

Comedian Andrew Schulz has claimed that the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) canceled his scheduled stand-up shows just hours after he interviewed former President Donald Trump on his podcast, 'Flagrant'. Schulz, who had booked the venue over a month prior, was informed of the cancellation less than a week before tickets were set to go on sale, with BAM citing internal discussions that deemed the venue 'not the right fit for this show at this time'. He expressed frustration, suggesting the timing of the cancellation may be linked to the Trump interview, which has garnered over 4.6 million views since its release. Schulz shared an email from BAM regarding the cancellation but noted that he had previously vetted his material with the venue's leadership, who appeared supportive. He is now searching for a new venue to film his special, which was slated for November. The incident echoes past controversies in comedy related to political figures and censorship, reinforcing ongoing discussions about freedom of expression in entertainment.
