Comedian refused to sign 'behavioural agreement' before gig

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-46541002





A comedian has turned down a gig at a university after being asked to sign a "behavioural agreement" first.

Konstantin Kisin was warned about a "no tolerance policy" on topics including racism, sexism and transphobia.

He was asked to perform at a gig at the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) in London, organised by university society Unicef on Campus.

The group has since apologised and the Students' Union says it "believes fully in freedom of speech".

Konstantin told Radio 1 Newsbeat the experience reflects a growing trend of free speech becoming stifled on university campuses across the UK.

He shared the "behavioural agreement form" online, saying the title "nearly made me puke".

It's an age-old question, but.....


Should comedy have boundaries?

Yes and no. Comedy is subjective, and I believe that most things can be made funny, no matter how offensive. But I have my own biases and experiences that make some comedians' work hard to like. I have raised two children who were both special needs in their own ways. Because of that, I cringe when I hear someone make fun of anyone with disabilities, and still can't believe that we live in a world where saying the N-word makes you a pariah, referring to something as gay is impermissible, but everyone still throws the R-word around or jokes about being Autistic without anyone batting an eye. Also, if your brand of comedy is to go out and specifically be homophobic, transphobic or in any way just spewing the sort of hatred we see on 4chan or Faux News, then you can go fuck yourself. I won't tell them they don't have the right to use their freedom of speech, but I sure as hell don't have to listen to them, and can also use my freedom of speech to tell them that they're a jackass (even though I'll be labeled one of the liberal thought police, because one shouldn't be forced to be decent human beings, it's their right to hate anyone they want). Unlike Mary Whitehouse, I can just turn the channel or not be in attendance for such and event.

I read a book of her short stories and they were phenominal. I’m trying to decide what book to tackle next.
