Fresh Off Of Twitter Banning, Dave Hill To Perform In Egremont

Comedian Dave Hill is appearing at the Barn in Egremont, Massachusetts Saturday night.

Hill is also a podcaster, musician, and author. His work has appeared everywhere from the New York Times and GQ to This American Life and his own radio show on WFMU. Hill was banned from Twitter in May after sparring with supporters of President Trump.

“I had been tweeting stuff at Trump, and he would probably never see it, I’m sure, but his supporters were, and they would come back with insults and death threats sometimes and all sorts of homophobic and transphobic remarks, and I would reply with fifth-grade level mother jokes.”

Hill appears alongside Jordan Carlos and Clare O'Kane.
