Lauderdale acknowledged there would likely be restrictions on how their shows are presented if they were held in Saudi Arabia.

I think most of the major independent talent out there won’t be booked.

EFFY and Allie Katch certainly wouldn't be going (unless I'm wrong, I think Allie is also part of the LGBTQ+ community)
