If it wasn’t sickening enough to see that Marcus Brigstocke hosts an annual comedy festival at a ski resort, the old corporate gig seems to be raising its profile, with a recent business course from LearnDirect employing the services of comedy actors Ricky Gervais, Hugh Laurie, Dawn French and James Nesbitt.

I mean - yes, I obviously sound extremely working class saying this - but come on, have some integrity!

I could accept perhaps a small gig in the Alps. Perhaps a course on comedy employing the services of these famous names.

But business? Ski resort comedy festivals?

What next, Edinburgh Festival moves to an ice palace, or Monte Carlo?

These people know who they are, and they should be ashamed of themselves. It is making a mockery of the comedy industry, and you should all think very carefully about what you’re doing.
