Haven't heard that before, but it was very common for comedians or poets and other "performance artists" (I don't know a better term... educate me!) to support smaller bands and vice versa. The early days of "alternative comedy" in the UK was more like an experimental variety movement. But they had random musical acts in the middle, and did it only because the BBC gave more money per episode to variety shows versus straight-up comedy
