Comedians, like Dave Chappelle, have been high-profile targets of cancel culture in recent years. Most recently, Minneapolis' First Avenue canceled Chappelle's sold out show hours before his set time after the storied venue faced backlash from its staff and community over the superstar comedian's jokes about the transgender community.

"Too often, too much credit is given to the way people interpret what you're saying or what you're doing as a comedian rather than what your real intentions are," Josh Denny, a Los Angeles comedian, told Fox News.
