"This comedy night… aims to provide a safe space for everyone to share and listen to Comedy," states the behavioral agreement form. "This contract has been written to ensure an environment where joy, love, and acceptance are reciprocated by all."
"By signing this contract, you are agreeing to our no tolerance policy with regards to racism, sexism, classism, ageism, ableism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia or anti-religion or anti-atheism."
Making the contract even more ironic, Kisin is also the co-host of TRIGGERnometry, a podcast featuring critics of social justice, academia, and censorship.
"Comedy isn't about being 'kind' and 'respectful' and the only people who get to decide what comedians talk about on stage are... comedians," Kisin told PJ Media. "Comedy is supposed to push boundaries and challenge people and comedians should be free to mock religion, atheism and a whole load of other things," he added.
Earlier this month, Yascha Mounk explored the results of a new study on polarization in America. A large majority of Americans, the study found, believe that “political correctness is a problem in our country.”
PC creates fear and resentment in those who are constantly chastised for expressing themselves incorrectly and not adhering strictly to the confusing and ever-evolving rules. Sadly, liberal ideology—which intended to bring greater freedom and equality to everyone—has been subverted by individuals who believe that they have the right to rule over their fellow citizens because of their superior knowledge, education, and intelligence (all, of course, subjective conclusions) and has become a means of control (not liberation) enforced on those who are not part of this small, minority, elitist group.

Five comedians were asked to perform a charity event by a UNICEF on Campus chapter at the University of London, this coming January. However, before performing, the club's event organizer wants all five comedians to sign a behavioral agreement, "to provide a safe space for everyone to share and listen to Comedy." Apparently censorship is OK, as long as it prevents people's feelings from getting hurt.

I grew up with Archie Bunker, Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Sam Kinison. Comedy is all about mocking people, religion and pushing boundaries. Are young people now that spineless and easily offended?

I found an article posted this past October, that discusses the PC culture that plagues our society. Guess what? The majority of Americans believe that “political correctness is a problem in our country.” I'm one of those Americans.
