Referencing a black, gay friend, he told the audience that being gay isn't a choice because "no one looks in the mirror and thinks, 'this black thing is too easy, let me just add another thing to it'."

So in other words, don't do comedy.
I'll get a gig there and read this to the crowd...

the amazing part is that is actually supportive of both things joked about and you'd basically have to be an idiot to not get that
Are you serious? This is anti-British.
B- b- buh he said Black! And Gay! Is racist!!!!!!
Fuck me
wtf, you just said black, are YOU a racist???
"Comedians have been asked not to be "racist, sexist, classist, ageist, homophobic or Islamophobic" at a UK gig."
"ageist"
fuck off, nothing will stop me from ripping into boomers for being crusty old fucks
And there goes 90% of comedians. Even if they are 100% safe, there are a lot that would disagree with this.

with the wording they used in the 'contract', wouldn't there be a distinction between "jokes about [marginalized minorities]" and "jokes that have the effects of hate towards or misunderstanding of [marginalized minorities]"
the wording makes it look like the people in charge of the club just want comedians to be considerate and not be straight up hurtful with their jokes, and that they can still talk about the kinds of people they mentioned
thats at least how i look at humor about minorities. you can do really good jokes about f.e. gay trans muslims~ without being directly hurtful or contributing to views that can end up hateful, intentional or not

You can just like or dislike what they said, and discuss the context of that and then move on to the next salient topic like a mature grown ass human being.
Sending someone to an institution of experience honing and higher learning and then fawning over them as if they have all the answers and need to tell them to instructors thereof is fucking stupid. Learning is a two way street, not a fluffy bumpered preschool daycare slide.
probably a small group of people that cry loud enough to spineless school admins who are afraid of becoming the next evergreen state university
no xenophobia
Someone call an inquisitor
