Michael Rapaport claims comedy show was yanked after threats over his support for Israel
Comedian Michael Rapaport claimed on Tuesday his show at the Stardome Comedy Club in Birmingham, Alabama was canceled because of protests and threats over his support for Israel. 'My show tonight at the Stardome in Alabama was CANCELLED,' Rapaport said in an X post. 'I did not cancel. I would never cancel — especially since I'm already here in Birmingham, ready to perform.' Rapaport claimed the show was pulled because of his outspoken backing of Israel, however the venue has not publicly commented on the decision. 'It was shut down because of protests and threats over my support for Israel and for speaking up about the 50 hostages still being held in Gaza,' Rapaport said. 'Six hundred and seventy days in captivity — and people are protesting me for demanding their release? It's embarrassing. It's sad. But I'm not ashamed. I stand by what I say and who I stand with.' 5 Protesters outside a Chicago venue where Michael Rapaport is performing.
