He's right. Everyone here is angry that KSA is a fascist regime, and the most important speech in the world is being able to make Winnie the Pooh references.
That comedians are able to go to somewhere they have the freedom to joke about America is more freedom for relevant/funny material. You can have enough comedy material without resorting to joking about the comedy club owner's dismemberment murder accusations, and guess what, if you did, you'd be thrown out (or worse) of "land of the free" clubs too.
