A Dallas Comedian Faces Controversy After Inviting Far-Right Troll Alex Stein to Perform
A show booked by comedian Noah"Shark" Robertson, right, got a noticeable amount of backlash when Alex Stein was put on the bill.Last week, comedian and show producer Noah"Shark" Robertson announced on his Facebook page that he had booked conservative comedian and self-described troll Alex Stein as part of a lineup for one of his Swimming with Sharks Entertainment stand-up showcases at the Dallas Comedy Club.
"You put Alex Stein on your show," wrote comedian Raye Maddox."A man who uses his platform to spread hate and misinformation, which is info easily accessed. You don't need to do research on all your comics but that doesn't excuse your choice to book him." "He says some stuff that's hard to get behind or laugh at or support sometimes," Robertson says."I think at the end of the day, he has a good heart but he's going for shock and awe."
During the opening of his set, he evoked the name of transgender collegiate swimmer Lia Thomas and announced he's going to become a college swimmer. Stein then removed the muumuu to reveal that he was wearing a women's bathing suit underneath.
