Press clippings
This series sees four young comedians - Jamali Maddix, Fern Brady, Alfie Brown and Sean McLoughlin - travel around Europe doing standup, and exploring the continent their xenophobic elders are currently insisting we leave. Judging by this opener - a sojourn in Copenhagen, Denmark - it's light on the cultural analysis and heavier on the standup, with Brown delivering a funny but barely EU-relevant routine, much of it about masturbation.

Given that most comedians are sticking Brexit material into their act faster than you can say "Conservative minority" it is quite canny of broadcaster Viceland to come up with the four-part Brexit Stage Left, in which a group of comics - Jamali Maddix, Alfie Brown, Fern Brady and Sean McLoughlin - travel to Europe to see what we are going to be missing in a few years and also get to do a gig.
