Comedian suggests Trump interview caused venue to cancel upcoming shows

Comedian Andrew Schulz claimed his upcoming shows were canceled by the scheduled venue shortly after he interviewed former President Donald Trump , though the theater where he was set to perform has denied the accusation.

Schulz hosted Trump for an hour-and-a-half interview on his FLAGRANT podcast last week, which he called “an awesome interview.” In reflecting on it during Wednesday’s podcast episode, he said he learned only a few hours after he uploaded the Trump interview that the Brooklyn Academy of Music had canceled his shows.

“Now, I don't know if it's the Trump interview, but the day before it came out, we were ready to go, and we're going on sale this week,” Schulz said. “And three and a half hours afterward, we get this email.”

Schulz then read the email he got from BAM, which stated that the theater did not feel it was the right fit for his show “after some internal discussion with leadership.” The theater added that it would “love to work” with the comedian for future events “that might be a better match for BAM.”

Schulz, however, expressed disinterest, jokingly stating, “F*** them and f*** them forever.”

He also said his vote had been “up for grabs,” joking that “the board of BAM has really pushed me in a direction.”

BAM, meanwhile, has offered a different stance. It told several media outlets that Schulz’s show was not canceled and that it was " a prospective rental that was never contracted. "

“The decision to pass was made by BAM’s senior staff well before the podcast interview with Donald Trump,” the statement said.

In last week’s interview with Trump, the former president discussed an array of topics, including surviving his assassination attempt in July, his views on abortion, and his legacy. He also condemned “crooked politicians” seeking to end in vitro fertilization after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.

Schulz revealed in his latest podcast episode that he invited Vice President Kamala Harris to appear on his show and that he would “love” to have her. However, he said her team was “not really enthusiastic” about the idea.

The Washington Examiner has contacted BAM for comment.
