Pete Davidson Asks Fans to Sign $1 Million NDA Before Comedy Show
Variety ^ | 30 Nov 2019 | MEREDITH WOERNER

Posted on 12/02/2019 6:22:55 AM PST by DUMBGRUNT

fans attending Davidson’s standup at the Sydney Goldstein Theater were asked to sign a lengthy contract that forbade them from tweeting or instagramming any opinions about the performance.

“I didn’t want to sign it because it was basically saying that I wasn’t able to comment on it or have an opinion,” Young told Variety. “The most you could say is ‘no comment.'” After refusing to sign the NDA emailed to her from the venue, Young was given a full refund but there was no additional information as to why this was happening. “I called the box office and wondered if it was for a special, but they didn’t have any information.”

Sounds like a good way to put yourself out of business.

He’s probably talking s*** about boinking Ariana Grande and doesn’t want to get sued himself.

Hey, no one is forced to sign the contract, and he gave a refund to anyone who didn’t. It’s legit as free enterprise.

Underscore the fact that almost all comedians have significant psychiatric issues.

I think he’s the guy who made fun of Dan Crenshaw’s eye patch, which had been acquired in combat.

You're right. Also, he might be turning the table on snowflakes who can't handle comedy that makes fun of anyone... That would be so sweet... and funny.

And it's starting a discussion of thin skinned people.

People would actually PAY to see Pete Davidson?

Probably to keep snow flakes from suing him because they get offended by a comedian.

BINGO!

“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”

The “Sage of Baltimore”
H.L. Mencken

I couldn’t stop with just one HL quote!
So I added this one and held off on my favorite bathtub at the Whitehouse story.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

Too much coffee... I could not stop...

If you give a good performance, you want people to talk about it!

True, but it appears one also had to travel to the venue or a ticket office to find out. How much notice was given and how are the refunds processed and then what about people’s time and travel expenses, lodging if they booked a hotel for the night, etc.?

Yep, it's his show and he can run it anyway he wants to. If you're not happy with his rules then just don't go. Where's the problem?
