## Key points

- Noah Kahan joked that concertgoers must wear nappies.
- The remark followed repeated toilet-related incidents at his shows.
- He delivered it during a Washington DC performance.

## Summary

Noah Kahan jokingly told fans at his Washington DC concert to wear nappies after several recent incidents in which attendees reportedly urinated or defecated at his shows. The singer framed the request as a fictional congressional order during a recurring onstage mock phone-call segment, using humour to address behaviour that has become a notable distraction at his concerts.

At Nationals Park on 22 July, Kahan pretended Congress had mandated nappies because people were “pissing all over the floor” at his performances. He had previously asked audiences directly to stop and encouraged them to take a pledge; the joke also echoed a 2022 post in which he claimed legislation required fans to wear flannel to his shows.
