Major festival promoters canceled scheduled appearances by comedian Reggie Watts following an investigation by Rolling Stone into allegations that he used drugs and harmed his late girlfriend. His scheduled tour dates on various stages were quickly removed after the story broke. In addition, the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast chose to replace his theme song from its regular lineup. Media platforms including Variety and Rolling Stone Australia have continued tracking venues cancelling his appearances and radio stations removing his music, after the story described him as a major user of ketamine.
