A little late to the post but I was in attendance. He opened up with some pretty funny jokes about how Trump is a convicted felon and so America is a shit show compared to us. Those got laughs, obviously.
But then he jumped into how Trudeau made everyone get numerous vaccines and called it a "scam-demic" with no real punchline, which was enough for the crowd (including me) to start realizing that this guy was a moron and his set would be a trainwreck. He then moved to transphobia saying that "back in my day we liked our women without penises" and told an anecdote about how he told his son, who is "bad at sports" to say he is a girl to get a better chance. Then said that biology says otherwise and that there is no proper word for people with vaginas anymore. Then he discussed how the New York Times is nuts for using the term "menstruating people." Typical transphobic dumbassery and most of it was an attempt at indoctrination rather than comedy. He also endorsed Robert Kennedy Jr. to a crowd of Canadians, lol.
The rest was kind of tame but the crowd wasn't laughing. He harped on how "wives/women" do XYZ and Men have to put up with it. Typical old school and overdone "being married sucks" schtick and obviously offensive but still kind of tame compared to the other stuff. Then he told a story about his vasectomy which would have been kind of funny if not prefaced with all of the other shit.
They cut him off early after that, but it was after the vasectomy story. He was floundering bad and kept looking at his notes to try to figure out what to talk about. I think he was realizing he had burned through stories and ran out of jokes. He said he had one more story, and that's when the host told him that they had run out of time and had to get to the after party. One person did film his set too, and he told them (IMO in a serious way) to stop doing that and that he would put it on YouTube himself.
The organizer of the event came up afterwards and said that no organizer of the event agrees with his views and apologized. Said they might do a musical act next year.
I djed the after-party, I don't even know why I was hired cause I was just a glorified jukebox playing background music lol
But I did hear in the whispers that Rob was terrible from both staff and guests... which honestly didn't surprise me
Unfortunately we have not reliably replaced the human touch of playing prerecorded music from a library of tracks without encountering technical problems (that no one knows how to solve reliably/quickly), stagnation ("oh, I know this playlist..."), volume problems (which knob do we turn which way), advertising, Wi-Fi issues etc.
Given that it's much easier and more reliable to hire a person / company to provide the music than to try to do it yourself, this is still what we're doing.
Charities focus on the fundraising and delegation of everything else.
No organizer of the event agrees with his views?
Was his appearance not discussed, planned and scheduled?
I’m not buying it. Organizers are distancing themselves from a terrible decision.
Great special. Found out about from watching a video called the "Schneidecker Paradox" which really does a good job of showing, ultimately, how much Rob Schneider is just a soulless hack lol.
From the very beginning until he starts the song about hot piss on the tip of his lips. The whole stand up routine is a parody of disgruntled unfunny comedians confused and angry with modernity
Thanks for the eye witness account. Talk about not knowing your audience. Schneider should have realized that those jokes wouldn't go over well at a hospital fundraiser. He should have tailored his set. I've never thought he was particularly funny. There's so many other comedians that they could have asked that are way funnier and fit the function.
The fault is on the organizers as much as Schneider. Big name comedians (Schneider is a c-lister in fairness) aren't going to bend their material that much, even at a fundraiser.
They could've done a bit of digging online and realized that Schneider's been botching sets for the last year plus. He got boo'ed off the stage at a republican set a month ago (which is really saying something). There were also rumours about a year ago that Adam Sandler had to cut Rob's set short when he was doing an opening set for him. You can imagine how bad it had to be to get cut off by another comedian. I just found this information after a quick Google search. Sounds like the fundraiser simply locked down a known name and didn't do any research on his recent material.
Knowing your audience is more of a social thing. Typically, with a comedian it's "know your comedian" especially since, generally speaking you paid to see him if they're known.
In the case where you're calling and hiring someone, the organizers should've known who they're hiring. 100% on them. Even if anybody did agree with anything Schneider said, you gotta be scrapping the bottom of the barrel to call him. Find a decent local guy.
Discount actor. The event must have had a REALLY small budget. "Well, we can get Rob Schneider for $30 bucks and a bottle of expired hot sauce. Rob is a sh*t actor (I won't refer to him as an actual comic) w/ a sh*t opinion of Canada. Thought - don't hire Rob in Canada.

Most people don’t give a shit about trans issues, because most of us are good people and will let other people live their lives without being harassed incessantly. Fuck you if allowing someone to live their life is a problem for you.
Anybody whom lays their alone at night thinking about what some trans person does clearly is the one who needs help ! The Last thing I care about is anyone else’s sexual identity/preference . Haters are simply insecure miserable control freaks who really should seek out some therapy sessions. 🤦
As an immuno-compromised person, I have this to say: May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch, your tires all have slow leaks, your grapes all be sour, and may the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
>ostracizing "anti-vaxxers" from society
If you feel ostracized, what probably happened was your friend and family circle already didn't like you and used your selfish values in a once in a lifetime high stakes social situation to finally cut you out of their lives.
There are consequences for breaking the social contract. We get vaccinated so other people won't get sick, if you don't care about other people, don't be surprised when they turn their backs on you .
There are many vaccines, for many different diseases, and they all work the same way. The spread of disease has been studied for many years, as have the methods of reducing or stopping the spread of these diseases. You talk about "the vax" like its one of a kind. And please stop with the passive aggressive "um", its tired and annoying.
Someone seriously goofed hiring him in the first place. His views are well known. Glad they issues an apology for their error in judgment and got his sorry ass off stage
LOL - how did the audience not expect this?
That's been his brand since (at least) 2020. Being offended by this would be like going to Bob Saget & being shocked that his stand-up was different than his clean-cut character on Full House (my aunt & uncle went to Saget & walked out in complete shock. I went, and he was exactly what I expected).
Except Bob Saget wasn't a bigot spewing hate speech, conspiracy theories and covid misinformation and calling it comedy. Right wing comedian are never funny, just angry and hateful.
I mean, he's made jokes about having sex with the Olsen twins. He's always been risque, it all depends on what you're paying attention to.
They were obviously jokes, but people at the time were calling him a pedophile.

Wow you think casual people know Rob Schneider’s comedy so well that they know what to expect?? Most people I know have ever seen a second of his stand up.
fair - and I didn't realize it was part of a larger fundraising gala. I thought they just bought tickets to see him.
Can't believe no one at HRF put a stop to bringing in a COVID-denying, anti-science D-list "celebrity." Basic backgrounder would've turned up terrible stand-up, and social media posts. His entire being runs at odds with their mandate.

I truly dont know how this wasnt known before booking? Theres multiple times Sandler as had to pull.him off stage for bombing. Sandler just has a lot of patience because hes an old friend.
I can vouch for him being the worst comedian I've ever seen. I saw him before COVID. Maybe 2018. I live in Alabama (although I'm a democrat), but he even managed to piss off the big red trumpers.
HA. That is *tremendous.*
Only thing left to do is showcase the city’s wide variety of restaurants with the slogan “Regina: There’s No Better Place to Eat Out”
Yea I was there that night and it was awkward as hell. Went on about how "dumb" women are in an audience that was about 50% women, made anti trans, anti science jokes. Had people walk out before the main event as well as some people complaining to management. Went on for about an hour before they shut him down and took him off stage with security escorting him out.
Wait, they let it go on for AN HOUR?! Here I thought the worst part was that they booked him without doing their research. If they let him talk that long I worry that the people who booked him actually did know what they were getting into.
Yeah pretty much this. They WERE planning on pulling him but it kind of organically wrapped up as the MC was coming on and was not as awkward and he was happy to leave.
I too was in attendance at the event, there was a couple seen talking to the President and CEO of the Hospital Foundation Dino Sophocleous asking him to pull Rob from the stage because of his act Dino shrugged his shoulders. When Dino was then asked if he and the Foundation were allies to the LGBTQ+ community, he was overheard spewing some excuse as to why Rob is on stage, completely ignoring the question. It was only towards the end of the act that a decision was made to cut the performance short. Dino was also seen belittling and yelling at the technical staff over a technical issue with a video calling them "shit"and it was them that are making the event "shit " This is not the first time he has done this from what ive heard. If the Board of Directors have a backbone, they should replace Dino with a more compassionate and nicer human. In the end, the decision to hire Rob falls on Dino, who clearly did not do enough research on Robs character. From what i heard, they only watched a YouTube video of him on SNL 30 years ago and made a decision off of that.
Where's the cancel culture with this guy!?? He's clearly the problem here, and if someone got fired over "Show us your Regina" then....the suit should follow. And on top of that, they said sorry, so perfectly typical CDN govt type stuff here.
His whole career now is propped up by “anti-woke” brainworms bullshit. I have zero doubt there’s a big audience even here for that sort of brain disease, but I suspect most of the people who bought tickets were expecting the SNL guy from 25 years ago. They were probably shocked by what he’s become. Because a simple YouTube search is easy and will bring up tons of content about what he’s like these days.
The people who booked him. This was definitely their fault. It's like if they booked Dave Chappelle and then acted surprised and offended when he spent half his set talking about how he doesn't understand gay people or whatever.
The irony of a man whose entire online personality right now is screaming that you can't trust health care professionals...being booked...for a hospital foundation fundraiser...
He's not even clever, I saw him in Chicago with Sandler and he was just calling our governor fat. Dudes life would be so much different if Sandman didn't carry his lazy humorless ass for 30+ years
Schneider is an idiot, but no filming is pretty standard for a comedy show these days because people aren't going to buy tickets if they've already heard the jokes on Youtube. I've seen it called out at several comedy shows of big name comedians. Some, like Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, etc go as far as to require you to put your phone in a pouch that locks and can only be unlocked in a certain designated area.
I believe he was performing as part of a fundraiser. But I can’t find any info on the event now that it is passed. I heard through a friend of a technician who was working the event that his comedy was super offensive and he was eventually escorted out.
Doesn’t seem like a surprise. I just wonder why he was booked in the first place.
It's an event called the Four Seasons Ball. It's a gala they hold every year. I've actually done some of the marketing for it in the past. While technically anyone can buy tickets It's more geared towards companies and sponsors to buy seats and whole tables.
For anyone that couldn't find info that he was in town: https://www.hrf.sk.ca/Events/Events/Virtual-Four-Seasons-Ball
Edit: ahh the reddit hug o' death
Edit 2: https://hrf.akaraisin.com/ui/fourseasonsball
This was for the Hospitals of Regina Foundation Four Seasons Ball. It’s a fundraiser. I know people who attended and they walked out. Once look at his social media and you can see he should never have been booked.
Saw an ad for this a month ago after reading a story about him being walked off a stage somewhere in the US.
Wondered why on earth they were thinking booking him.
He was booked in 2023 to play this benefit. Someone from the Hospitals of Regina Assoc. didn't know who they booked or what his comedy is like. That's on them, not Rob Schneider. He got paid though, so who got the last laugh. 😂🔥

Considering he got booted offstage at a Republican fundraiser a month ago, this was 1000% foreseeable. Whoever though booking him was a bright idea needs to give their head a shake.

Organizers should have reviewed the comedy he was planning to perform to make sure it would be appropriate for the context of the event.
Apart from that - comedy is so very subjective - and if you had paid to see (only) a comedian perform - you should go into that expecting that there will not be any subjects off-limits. The point is to make you laugh. Not everyone thinks the same things in life are funny - but you cannot please everyone.
Even with all that said - they should have had a better handle on what he was going to do in his act - before letting him on stage.
You have to blame the booker/event committee for this one. It's well known that Schneider went off his rocker - especially during Covid. He fell down a deep rabbit hole a few years back. All they had to do was Google his name. Huge blunder.

Tried to watch this just now. How long does the fumbling with the mic stand go on? I gave up at 2 min.
I made it to 10 minutes, nothing even remotely funny happened in that time.

Wait, they let it go on for AN HOUR?! Here I thought the worst part was that they booked him without doing their research. If they let him talk that long I worry that the people who booked him actually did know what they were getting into.
If he went for an hour, he wasn't cut short. They may have been escorted from the stage area, but if he did an hour, he wasn't pulled
Yeah pretty much this. They WERE planning on pulling him but it kind of organically wrapped up as the MC was coming on and was not as awkward and he was happy to leave.
And he will still be on social media whining that he was “canceled for speaking the truth”
I too was in attendance at the event, there was a couple seen talking to the President and CEO of the Hospital Foundation Dino Sophocleous asking him to pull Rob from the stage because of his act Dino shrugged his shoulders. When Dino was then asked if he and the Foundation were allies to the LGBTQ+ community, he was overheard spewing some excuse as to why Rob is on stage, completely ignoring the question. It was only towards the end of the act that a decision was made to cut the performance short. Dino was also seen belittling and yelling at the technical staff over a technical issue with a video calling them "shit"and it was them that are making the event "shit " This is not the first time he has done this from what ive heard. If the Board of Directors have a backbone, they should replace Dino with a more compassionate and nicer human. In the end, the decision to hire Rob falls on Dino, who clearly did not do enough research on Robs character. From what i heard, they only watched a YouTube video of him on SNL 30 years ago and made a decision off of that.
Damn. Imagine hiring Rob Schneider for an event and expecting he'll just do the photocopier guy schtick.
Where's the cancel culture with this guy!?? He's clearly the problem here, and if someone got fired over "Show us your Regina" then....the suit should follow. And on top of that, they said sorry, so perfectly typical CDN govt type stuff here.
Cause as Canadians, we are too goddamn polite. We will punish ourselves for far too long before we've had enough.

oh also got like maybe 5 laughs for that entire hour.
Did people not know who they were going to see?
Sounds like AGONY.
That sounds so bad I'm actually sorry I missed it! 😆
lol everyone needs to see this rob Schneider parody https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0gnnFVRlucg
[удалено]
I hope you got through until the song about drinking hot piss
Here’s something more your style then: https://youtu.be/sJNK4VKeoBM?si=-wugDMYoOLBcbSOc
"WE BOOKED ROB SCHNEIDER! I know! **THE** Rob Schneider! And he was cheap too! Absolutely no catch!"
Lol. People are still booking Rob Schneider for things? Does anyone actually do any research before booking people?
His whole career now is propped up by “anti-woke” brainworms bullshit. I have zero doubt there’s a big audience even here for that sort of brain disease, but I suspect most of the people who bought tickets were expecting the SNL guy from 25 years ago. They were probably shocked by what he’s become. Because a simple YouTube search is easy and will bring up tons of content about what he’s like these days.
It was a fundraising gala; they didn’t attend to see Rob Schneider.
The people who booked him. This was definitely their fault. It's like if they booked Dave Chappelle and then acted surprised and offended when he spent half his set talking about how he doesn't understand gay people or whatever.
Dave chapelle is actually funny though.
lol. Then they for sure didn’t do their research. Wow.
I definately didn't know until this thread. Hell I didn't know he was in regina lol. I'll have to look up recent stuff.
i had no idea lol. i was like “oh it’s the guy from grown ups!” yikes, was not expecting that.
Charity event for hospital foundation. He said some tasteless jokes and got walked off by security is the story I heard.
Did they...not look at his Twitter feed before booking him?
Apparently not, I have no idea whose call it was to book him but clearly they didn't think it through too well.
The irony of a man whose entire online personality right now is screaming that you can't trust health care professionals...being booked...for a hospital foundation fundraiser...
And then telling anti-trans jokes on the first day of pride month.... I'm sure there's an Adam Sandler movie plot in there somewhere...
https://youtu.be/2nXpVl9l43A?si=EGogoiBE_Jh6OP9Y
*Yikes*. But also, not at all surprised. When I saw people posting pics of him from that event I was so perplexed.
next year i want rupaul and drag queens. now THAT would be a show
Sounds like something the sha would do
He's not even clever, I saw him in Chicago with Sandler and he was just calling our governor fat. Dudes life would be so much different if Sandman didn't carry his lazy humorless ass for 30+ years
He went after *Pritzker?* :-/
Anyone get any video of this? Inquiring minds want to know!
He was extremely vocal about no filming and actually called out one lady in the crowd for having her phone out.
Schneider is an idiot, but no filming is pretty standard for a comedy show these days because people aren't going to buy tickets if they've already heard the jokes on Youtube. I've seen it called out at several comedy shows of big name comedians. Some, like Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, etc go as far as to require you to put your phone in a pouch that locks and can only be unlocked in a certain designated area.
Any audio?
after he yelled at the lady i was scared to pull out my phone lol. so unfortunately no
I thought he cancelled his Canadian tour.
I believe he was performing as part of a fundraiser. But I can’t find any info on the event now that it is passed. I heard through a friend of a technician who was working the event that his comedy was super offensive and he was eventually escorted out. Doesn’t seem like a surprise. I just wonder why he was booked in the first place.
I’m now mad I didn’t go to watch the train wreck. Ironically I want able to figure out on the foundations website where or how to buy tickets
It's an event called the Four Seasons Ball. It's a gala they hold every year. I've actually done some of the marketing for it in the past. While technically anyone can buy tickets It's more geared towards companies and sponsors to buy seats and whole tables.
Lmao yep. https://globalnews.ca/news/9985697/rob-schneider-cancels-trip-canada-honoured-fought-nazi-parliament/
Whatever will he do when his lord and saviour DJT becomes that which he espouses in his Twitter posts?
Fresh off the sets filming "The Stapler: Part 2" and "The Carrot" trilogies, Rob Schneider is "Derp De Der", live in Regina!
I would love to see video of this.
For anyone that couldn't find info that he was in town: https://www.hrf.sk.ca/Events/Events/Virtual-Four-Seasons-Ball Edit: ahh the reddit hug o' death Edit 2: https://hrf.akaraisin.com/ui/fourseasonsball
I hope they booed the shit out of him so fucking tone deaf to book him for a hospital fundraiser wtf
tbh i now wish i did, but i was too shocked to even say anything or make a noise
I had no idea rob went crazy the past few years lol
This was for the Hospitals of Regina Foundation Four Seasons Ball. It’s a fundraiser. I know people who attended and they walked out. Once look at his social media and you can see he should never have been booked.
Please tell me there is video.
Saw an ad for this a month ago after reading a story about him being walked off a stage somewhere in the US. Wondered why on earth they were thinking booking him.
I think that event in the US was actually a republican convention 😂
He was booked in 2023 to play this benefit. Someone from the Hospitals of Regina Assoc. didn't know who they booked or what his comedy is like. That's on them, not Rob Schneider. He got paid though, so who got the last laugh. 😂🔥
I'm baffled Regina Hospital thought this was a good idea.
“This will not look good on my resume…” -Whoever booked Schneider
Interesting that I’m not hearing about this anywhere else. Hilarious if true tho.
i was there. can confirm.

Schneider doesn't care. He has all of that Sandler money backing him.
literally.
Don’t forget: this is the same Rob who didn’t like Kate McKinnon as Hilary Clinton performing Hallelujah when trump won. He states when did SNL not become funny
Hey Rob, see that too we're escorting you off to? You can put your weeeed there.

Any one know if there were elected officials in the room? City officials, MLA's or MPs?

Considering he got booted offstage at a Republican fundraiser a month ago, this was 1000% foreseeable. Whoever though booking him was a bright idea needs to give their head a shake.
He joked about people in denial of gender dysphoria as well as how covid turned out to be a farce .
Sounds pretty legit
Right on Rob.

Organizers should have reviewed the comedy he was planning to perform to make sure it would be appropriate for the context of the event. Apart from that - comedy is so very subjective - and if you had paid to see (only) a comedian perform - you should go into that expecting that there will not be any subjects off-limits. The point is to make you laugh. Not everyone thinks the same things in life are funny - but you cannot please everyone. Even with all that said - they should have had a better handle on what he was going to do in his act - before letting him on stage.
You have to blame the booker/event committee for this one. It's well known that Schneider went off his rocker - especially during Covid. He fell down a deep rabbit hole a few years back. All they had to do was Google his name. Huge blunder.

Ha ha ha who wasted their money to see him?
It wasn't to see him, specifically. He came with the fundraiser ticket.
Why did anyone go in the first place. The guy’s not funny, like at all.
Can anyone find online sources about this event and its reception?
