Overview

• Michael Rapaport’s Aug. 5 performance at Stardome Comedy Club in Hoover was canceled after local protests and threats related to his outspoken support for Israel.
• Rapaport announced the cancellation on Facebook, saying he would never call off a show and blaming security risks linked to his calls for the release of hostages in Gaza.
• The venue quietly pulled the event listing and has not responded to inquiries from multiple outlets, including Fox News Digital.
• This represents the latest in a series of Rapaport show cancellations dating back to May 2024 in Madison and October 2024 in suburban Detroit and Chicago over similar safety concerns.
• During his brief Alabama visit, Rapaport met members of Chabad of Alabama and wrapped tefillin while reaffirming his commitment to continue speaking out on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
