A Jewish comedian has described his dismay after a charity event he was due to perform at wanted him to sign a “behavioural agreement form” to make the evening a “safe space”.
Konstantin Kisin, who was joint winner of the New Jewish Comedian of the Year award at the UK Jewish Comedy Festival last week, was asked to perform at a comedy fundraiser in January for Unicef at the University of London.
But he was presented with a contract to sign, agreeing to a "no tolerance policy with regards to racism, sexism, classism, ageism, ableism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia or anti-religion or anti-atheism".
The contract said this was “to ensure an environment where joy, love, and acceptance are reciprocated by all."
