Comics are doing this as well (Dave Chapelle, Joe Rogan, etc).

Wholly supported.

One of the reasons a comic might do that is to avoid being the target of a Twitter outrage mob over a recording of them doing an insensitive joke.

It's mostly because they want to use their jokes for a special down the road, but if someone records them during a smaller venue with the same jokes, it'll ruin the special.

Or they do it because because they don't want to be called out on a bad set. (I've heard a venue guy from Detroit pointing out Chappel for that)

Found the article on the Detroit one: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/dave-chappelle-fans...

I could have sworn he had issues at a PA show as well, but that was recorded.

Hannibal Burress doesn't like it because he said some unverified bits about Cosby and got caught. (Unsubstiated at the time)
