Nash, who has just finished a three-week US tour, started her UK dates in Glasgow on Thursday, and will then move on to Europe. Her date at London’s Koko is sold out.
“I’m losing money from those tours,” she told News.
“The only way I could find to make a profit on the tour – you’re either going, hopefully I sell enough T-shirts to cover the debt, or you cut people’s wages, or you fire band and crew, or you travel dangerously.”
She wasn’t willing to cut corners or the quality of her shows, she said. “So that leaves me in a position where I’m not profiting from tours. So is this a job, or is it a passion project?”
She also said it was “an important time for women to take control and to feel empowered”, and that she often posted photos of her posterior anyway.
The pictures she’s posted on OnlyFans so far are revealing but not explicit.
“I think the arse is the perfect combination of comedy and sexuality,” she said.
“I actually like bums. I think they’re just quite great. I think it’s funny. I enjoy taking pictures of my bum. Always been a bit of a flasher. So I’m going to enjoy doing it, and I’m already putting it online anyway.
“I’m going to probably make more money doing that than the music over the next three months.”
