On March 19-21, the Spokane Comedy Club is set to host Michael Rapaport, a man who has openly celebrated the deaths of young children in Gaza and has continued to support Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. For more information on some of his hateful actions, click here (or just check out his social media).

We’ve stopped him from spreading this hate in Spokane in the past, and we can do it again! Send an email to the Spokane Comedy Club to ask them to cancel their shows with Michael Rapaport.

I am writing to ask the Spokane Comedy Club not to host Michael Rapaport due to his extensive history of racism and Islamophobia both on and off-stage.

Mr. Rapaport has an extensive public history of openly celebrating civilian death in Gaza and has doggedly supported Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. For the past two years, he has made anti-Palestine sentiment a centerpiece of his comedy work and public persona.

Mr. Rapport's comedy shows have frequently been met with protests about his dehumanization of Arab and Muslim people. I would encourage the Spokane Comedy Club to break ties with Mr. Rapport to avoid facing similar community backlash.

I care about Spokane's artistic community, and I want to see Spokane Comedy Club succeed. Canceling the shows with Mr. Rapaport would show Spokane that there is no place for hate on the Comedy Club stage.

Thank you for your time.

Signed,
