Several prominent event organisers cancelled live shows by comedian Reggie Watts after an inquiry by Rolling Stone regarding claims that he used drugs and mistreated his late girlfriend. His scheduled tour dates on various stages were swiftly cancelled as details surfaced. Additionally, the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast chose to replace his theme song from its regular lineup. Industry news sites including Variety and Rolling Stone Australia kept reporting on promoters dropping his acts and broadcasters pulling his music, after the published report described him as a major user of ketamine.
