I was doing stand-up while was practicing law at the Dept. of Justice Canada. Apparently people at work told HR and then Ottawa determined it was a conflict of interest. They made me choose between no longer using "a certain type of material," specifically, "for example, sexual abuse of children, abortion, violence against women and war crimes," or my job.
the same thing happened to me!
I'm still doing stand-up. Here's the story:
