Overview

• The Stardome Comedy Club in Hoover, Alabama canceled Rapaport’s Aug. 5 show citing safety concerns after receiving over 100 social media messages threatening protests.
• Rapaport said he did not cancel the performance and blamed the decision on his outspoken support for Israel and calls for the release of 50 hostages in Gaza.
• The venue removed the event from its calendar, marked tickets as not on sale and offered refunds to affected patrons.
• This cancellation is the latest in a series of aborted shows since May 2024 in multiple U.S. cities tied to Rapaport’s pro-Israel advocacy.
• Rapaport plans to continue his comedy tour through January 2026 and maintain his public stance despite growing backlash.
