Stephen K Amos talks race, sexuality and equality in the world of comedy

In episode four, editor-in-chief Matt Cain chats to comedian Stephen K Amos backstage before his latest stand-up show in London. Stephen talks about growing up in a Nigerian family in the 1980s, coming out as gay in the straight world of stand-up, and performing in countries known for being anti-gay. He also discusses challenging prejudice in his work, some of the most commonly-held stereotypes about black men, the racism he’s experienced from within the gay community, and his love of camp '80s soap Dynasty. Stephen’s interview isn’t just funny, it’s also surprisingly revealing.
