Amanda Knox has defended her new comedy show after a petition was made to cancel a run of gigs. The petition claims that the show ‘mocks the horrific events surrounding Meredith’s murder and aims to somehow turn this tragedy into entertainment.

Knox added that the show deals with difficult subjects such as grief, trauma, mental health, addiction, illness, identity and politics.
