Related: About this forumHannibal Buress' Mic Cut After Joking About Molestation in Catholic Church
http://variety.com/2018/biz/news/hannibal-buress-joking-molestation-catholic-church-1202730152/A mic-cut shortened Hannibal Buress performance at Loyola University Chicago on Saturday night after the comedian cracked jokes about child molestation in the Catholic Church.
While performing at the Catholic university, the Broad City and Spider-Man: Homecoming actor projected an email from Loyola on stage, which prohibited him from addressing sexual assault or cursing on stage.
...While the universitys administration may not have approved of Buress joke, many Loyola Chicago students took to Twitter in support of the comedian, criticizing the school for apparently cutting him off.
Loyola just cut Hannibals mic. This is ridiculous. We want Hannibal, one user tweeted.

Because he runs pretty raw. And he's hilarious.
Edit to add: Loyola has every right to do this. I'm not saying it's censorship. But they look like idiots for a) booking him and b) being so thin-skinned.

If the audience is laughing at the man cracking jokes about your associations with child molesters, cutting his mic will remove all shadow of a doubt.
Well played, Loyola. Well played.
