There's no evidence that being anti-Brexit harms a comic's career, says Stewart Lee

This is a normal post I don't doubt that Mr Lee is entirely correct,
however I'd like to offer some anecdotal evidence that I think is relevant. I know someone who went to see Lee Nelson live (I know, I was shocked to know someone who'd watch him on tv, nevermind pay money to see him, but there you go). Anyway, it was somewhere outside London, Essex I think, and he did some anti Brexit stuff and absolutely died. He got quite flustered apparently and awkwardly changed tack after a bit, but it was in the second half and he never really recovered.

This is a normal post I Wikipediaed him once.
I forget the details but he has proper aristocratic lineage.

This is a normal post unless you're Jim Davidson or Jethro or one of those cunts whose audience is exclusively made up of cunts

This is a normal post My sister liked both of those guys and she died last year
Although to be fair when she was alive she was a cunt.

This is a normal post I listen to lots of comics that do anti brexit stuff.
I don't get annoyed, just find it a bit safe and boring.

However I can imagine a situation where if you go to a town that voted heavily for brexit and spend your act saying how wrong they are it's not going to get a laugh.

This is a normal post particularly if the audience takes the entire act literally

This is a normal post I'd imagine that happens quite often to 'alternative' comedians, even before Brexit
It's probably why you dont tend to get so many of the big names in Cornwall

This is a normal post That's if he doesn't flounce half-way .....
....when someone says the subtitle for his thrilling titled and in no way sappy, vacuous looking, new book, should in fact be: How this Remainder spends every waking moment demonizing the working class he once made money off cos the EU is lully and they are low information and gullible.

I've yet to hear a comic do an anti eu bit.

This is a normal post Prezackerly
Even comics I really like cannot make their anti-Brexit stuff funny and the constant yawnsomeness of what the also-rans do is painfully dull. The only person to have reflected on his remainder position with some kind of self-awareness is Adam Buxton, as far as I'm aware.

This is a normal post Surprised he says that Al Murray
doing an anti-Brexit show hasn't hit his audience. That's the only one in the list who has any sort of blurred line in their politics/audience.

I read that Telegraph article the other day and did wonder how Marcus Brigstocke knew why someone was walking out of his show. I'm not sure how long I could last watching him do a routine on Brexit, and it wouldn't be because I disagreed with him.

This is a normal post Was just about to click this, and then I saw the words "Stewart Lee" and remembered that I'm supposed to have an opinion on him.
