‘Monty Python’ Star Fired For Recommending Chappelle Special To Fans – Opinion

The cancellation culture is now a joke, annoying, ridiculous and even communist.

A famous comedian, once thought to be at the forefront of political and social commentary, has been fired from a high-ranking job because he ran afoul Wokesters.

Terry Gilliam, a Monty Python comedian pioneer was about to direct a productionInto the Woods at London’s famous The Old Vic theater. Comedy veteran, he had been looking forward to staging the show next season. But then he made terrible mistakes that put everything at risk.

No, he didn’t kill someone on the set of a new film and then do an interview with ABC about it.

No, he didn’t get caught on the manifest of a private jet owned by a wealthy, perverted human trafficker.

No, he didn’t get caught forcing Hollywood actresses to sleep with him or be blacklisted from their careers.

Terry Gilliam’s big sin was recommending a Dave Chappelle show on his own Facebook page. When officials at The Old Vic got wind of the post from the usual complaining suspects, they didn’t just fire Gilliam. They cancelled the whole show.

Comedian Terry Gilliam has broken his silence after his show was cancelled by The Old Vic theatre and said he never thought ‘freedom of recommendation’ would be under threat.

The Monty Python star, 81, was set to co-direct Stephen Sondheim’s musical Into The Woods next year when the iconic theatre in London announced the production had been called off last month.

The move came after Gilliam urged his 495,000 Facebook followers to watch US comedian Dave Chappelle‘s controversial new Netflix show, The Closer.

Gilliam expressed disappointment at the decision that he claims was made to please just a few complainers from within the theater’s community.

It is very sad that a great cultural institution like The Old Vic allowed itself to be intimidated into cancelling our production of Into The Woods by a small group of closed-minded, humour-averse ideologues on their staff, who absurdly, call themselves ”The Old Vic 12”…as if they are the victims of some cruel injustice desperately fighting for their freedom!

‘My unspeakable crime was recommending my Facebook followers to watch a Netflix special by a brilliant and provocative American comedian, and then share with me their opinions.

‘They did and civilisation did not collapse! However, The Old Vic’s artistic credibility certainly has.

‘Freedom of Speech is often attacked, but I never imagined that Freedom of Recommendation would be under threat as well.’

This is cancel culture at its worst. Very Concerned People claim to be very concerned about people, and then in the name of social justice said Very Concerned People don’t just fire one person, but every person connected with that person. Terry Gilliam recommended that a comedy show be made. The Very Concerned Persons fired Terry Gilliam and every person in the show.

Independent thought is forbidden in the Cult of Wokeness. Only those who are truly loyal will be deemed worthy. All others will eventually be made to pay the price for cancel cancel culture. They are angry Gods and require that human sacrifice be made. What happens when they run out of “bad humans”?
