SNL UK Mocks Ed Sheeran Over Tour Controversy
27 Sep
Summary
- Comedian Amelia Dimoldenberg joked about Ed Sheeran on SNL UK.
- The joke references Sheeran's 2021 appearance on Dimoldenberg's show.
- This follows controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour.
Saturday Night Live UK recently featured comedian Amelia Dimoldenberg in an opening monologue that included a jest directed at singer Ed Sheeran. The humor stemmed from Sheeran's 2021 appearance on Dimoldenberg's acclaimed YouTube series, Chicken Shop Date, where she conducts interviews in a deadpan style. This comedic moment occurs as Sheeran's Loop Tour has encountered controversy.
Specifically, Macklemore was removed from the U.S. portion of the tour after making "Free Palestine" statements during his opening sets. Sheeran's tour faced further attention when he performed subsequent shows without opening acts, advocating for unity and humanity. Macklemore has since announced a "Free Palestine Tour" with international dates to benefit related organizations.
