Award-Winning Comedian Scraps U.S. Trip Following Warning About Her Donald Trump Jokes
HuffPost
“I thought I was being paranoid," admitted Alice Fraser.
Award-winning Australian comedian Alice Fraser has canceled an upcoming trip to New York to promote her new book, citing concerns that her past jokes about President Donald Trump and Elon Musk — the world’s richest person and a prominent Trump ally — could create problems for her with U.S. border officials.
Fraser outlined several factors behind her decision in a post on Patreon last month, explaining why she’d pulled the plug on a promotional visit for “A Passion for Passion: A Delirious Love Letter To Romance.”
Among the reasons: the collapse and “rebirth” of her publisher, restrictions on doing unpaid promotional work under the U.S. ESTA Visa Waiver Program and the $3,000 cost of applying for a work visa.
But a major concern, Fraser said, came after she sought legal advice from an immigration lawyer about the potential consequences of her satirical, Trump-mocking material.
The lawyer, she wrote, “couldn’t guarantee that having made publicly available jokes that could be considered critical of the administration wouldn’t count in my disfavour in the application” to enter America.
