British stand-up comedian Stewart Lee is hesitant to perform in the United States due to concerns that his past jokes could be used against him in light of the Trump administration’s targeting of dissenters.
Lee expressed his apprehension in an interview with Channel 4 News, stating, “I wouldn’t work in the States at the moment. I’d worry about them going through my jokes and ending up spending two days locked up without my heart medication. I just worry about it.”
