Several prominent event organisers cancelled live shows by comedian Reggie Watts following an investigation by Rolling Stone into allegations that he used drugs and treated his late partner poorly. His planned performances across multiple venues were quickly removed once the article published. In addition, the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast decided to drop his theme song from their broadcast. Industry news sites including Variety and Rolling Stone Australia kept reporting on promoters dropping his acts and radio stations removing his music, after the story described him as a frequent user of ketamine.
