Alpine comedy gigs are axed because of Brexit

Promoters Take The Piste say the annual tours of British comics which they organise in ski resorts such as Val D'Isere, Meribel, Chamonix and Zermatt will become unviable following the UK's full withdrawal from the European Union at the end of the year. Take The Piste was set up several years ago by promoter Rich Letts and comedian Marcus Brigstocke, a keen winter sports fan.
