Patton Oswalt Brutally Says Why He Nixed Shows At Venues Ignoring COVID Precautions
HuffPost
The comedian canceled performances in Florida and Utah because the sites won't agree to require vaccination proof or a negative test.
Comedian Patton Oswalt said he canceled tour dates at venues that reject his COVID-19 safety precautions because “my ego is not big enough to think that people should die to hear my stupid comedy.” Oswalt told fans on Instagram that four December concerts in Florida and one in Salt Lake City next year would not abide by his requirement that fans either present proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test. “This difficult decision was made due to the rising numbers of COVID cases and also because I have an ego, but my ego is not big enough to think that people should die to hear my stupid comedy,” the former “King of Queens” star said in the Instagram video. “So hopefully, hopefully, in the future we can rebook those when sanity holds sway again.”More Related News
