Why Boise Comedians Are Trying to Keep This Man Out

Our lead producer Frankie Barnhill talks to host Emma Arnold about why she and other Boise comedians are calling for Idaho Central Arena to cancel the upcoming Chris D’Elia show. She talks about the multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and predatory behavior against the Los Angeles-based comedian, the health of the Boise comedy scene, and why Emma thinks this booking is especially hypocritical.  This episode does contain references to sexual assault and harassment, including of minors.
