Overview
- Laugh Camp Comedy Club dropped Bankas’ Jan. 30–Feb. 1 dates and is refunding tickets, citing heightened threats, intense media attention and potential civil disorder.
- Owner Bill Collins said the decision followed consultations with public authorities, legal counsel and staff, concluding the risks could not be mitigated by a small club.
- The cancellations followed viral clips of Bankas mocking Renee Good’s death and using slurs, with the video drawing millions of views online.
- Bankas posted a reaction video telling an audience his Minnesota shows were canceled, drew boos, said “F— ’em,” and indicated he is seeking new venues and dates.
- Collins says Creative Artists Agency is insisting on full compensation and has barred other CAA clients from the club until the dispute is resolved.
