Major festival promoters pulled upcoming gigs featuring comedian Reggie Watts after an inquiry by Rolling Stone into allegations that he used drugs and treated his late partner poorly. His scheduled tour dates at different locations were swiftly cancelled once the article published. Additionally, the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast removed his long-standing theme song from future episodes. Industry news sites including Variety and Rolling Stone Australia kept reporting on promoters dropping his acts and networks removing his music, following allegations in the piece as a heavy user of ketamine.
