John Mulaney Postpones 3 Minneapolis Shows After ICE Shooting of Renee Nicole Good By Amy McCarthy

John Mulaney has postponed three upcoming shows in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.

The comedian was originally scheduled to perform three shows — on Jan. 9, Jan. 10, and Jan. 11 — as part of his Mister Whatever tour at The Armoury, a concert venue in downtown Minneapolis. In an Instagram post on Thursday, Jan. 8, Mulaney announced that he would postpone all three performances in the aftermath of the shooting.

“What’s happening in your city is heartbreaking,” Mulaney, 43, wrote. “I have to postpone shows in a town going through such awful challenges and such grief, because it feels unfair to the audience.”

Mulaney added that he “didn’t feel comfortable asking thousands of people each night to leave their homes, gather at the venue, and then make their way home when the situation is still unsafe.”

The postponements come one day after Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis mother, was shot and killed by an ICE officer. The incident, captured on video by multiple bystanders, occurred as a group of people allegedly assembled to block ICE officers who were conducting an immigration enforcement operation.

The shooting follows the launch of large-scale immigration raids in Minneapolis in recent days and the intensifying rhetoric from President Donald Trump and his administration regarding Somali immigrants. (Minneapolis-St. Paul is home to the largest Somali population in the U.S.)

Jonathan Ross was later identified as the ICE agent involved in the shooting, the Minnesota Star Tribune first reported. Fox9 and The Intercept also identified the shooter as Ross.

“I am sorry to anyone who is disappointed,” Mulaney wrote, concluding his post. “I know a fun stand-up show could be a nice distraction, but it doesn’t sit right with me to put anyone at risk.”
