Should the political views of comedians impact their careers?

It's kind of surprising to me that it has taken 45 weeks of doing these interviews for this topic to come up! It almost feels like there's an entire subgenre of comedians now who's focus is squarely on pushing back against venues and activists who oppose them, so an interesting conversation to be had about where they might have a point and, conversely, the extent to which venues should be able to decide who they bring on. Also, big thank you to Mellissa for her time.
'A show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival was set to feature comedian Graham Linehan, but was cancelled after the venue said his values did not align with theirs. How do you feel about the venue's decision?'

As Andrew Lawrence has it, offence is not given, but taken. There is actually quite a subtle argumentation behind that, which would here only become TL;DR (if it fit into the box, which I've never tested to the limit).
