Konstantin Kisin’s stand up shows are a sight to behold, as he effortlessly rattles off joke after joke about free speech and his battles with censorship. The most notable example of this is his refusal to sign a ‘behavioural agreement’ before performing at a fundraising gig for UNICEF at SOAS, University of London, which banned jokes about religion, sexuality, atheism, and more, citing that all jokes must be “respectful and kind”. Konstantin turned them down, making international headlines in the process.
He then took his show ‘Orwell That Ends Well’, a set containing snappy insights into free speech, to the Edinburgh Festival, which The Daily Telegraph listed as one of the best of the festival.
Konstantin regularly contributes to the BBC, ITV and TalkRadio, and is described as an “objective voice from the centre of the political spectrum”. He is also the creator and co-host of ‘TRIGGERnometry’, a YouTube show and podcast where Konstantin and fellow comedian Francis Foster interview everyone from economists to social commentators about controversial and challenging subjects. Dedicated to free speech and open discussion, guests have included Laurence Fox, Nigel Farage, Peter Hitchins and Seann Walsh, amongst others.
