Canadian comedian Ben Bankas is scheduled to perform in Kelowna, B.C., amidst growing calls to cancel the show. Bankas, whose controversial material has drawn criticism, is set to headline the event. Kelowna Pride spokesperson Candace Banks argues Bankas' performances are unsafe and offensive, citing previous incidents. Prospera Place, the venue hosting the event, states it is considering feedback but the show is expected to proceed as planned.
Global News reached out to Bankas' team for comment but received none.
