Comedians asked to sign 'behavioural agreement' for Soas gig

[–] Justintoxicated 1 points (+1|-0)

Comedians invited to perform at a benefit gig at Soas University of London have been sent a “behavioural agreement” that forbids them from tackling any topic in a way that is not “respectful and kind”.

So no comedy then? I'm do not believe any comedy is explicitly "kind and respectful", comedy in essence is to poke fun, to show a sacred cow being milked.

I'm more shocked that it's a British school doing this. The Brits have some of the funniest comedians and they aren't afraid to make fun of tough topics.
