The stand-up comic also said that several comedians have tried “setting up a union” to stop “predators” in the industry. Pascoe, 42, made the claims in a new interview with The Independent which discussed her novel 'Weirdo', cancel culture and sexual predators in her industry. YouTube has stopped Russell Brand from making money on its platform because of the rape and sexual assault allegations made against him. In the interview, Pascoe alluded to the existence of at least two alleged predators in the comedy industry, one of whom she said is “a man that’s assaulted men”. Pascoe went on to say that “fame really complicates” the situation when it comes to making an accusation.
