Episode 2 of 2

Julia Sutherland introduces an international range of comedians, including Brendon Burns, with honest and challenging stand-up and chat covering race, religion and culture.

Does race ever make you feel awkward? Julia Sutherland introduces an international range of comedians, each with their own perspective on race, religion and culture in today's society. Fresh from the stage, Julia talks to some of the comedians to find out the reality behind their stories.

In this episode, outspoken and unforgiving Australian comedian Brendon Burns turns his focus on the hypocrisy of the West. He highlights the failings of colonialism and describes his experiences with aboriginal communities and the lack of integration in his home country. In conversation, Brendon also shares a story about when he overstepped the mark on stage. Closer to home, Tez Ilyas vents his frustration at cultural ignorance in Britain, whilst the truly international Masud Milas explains how being a 'third culture kid' in Hong Kong led to his extremely strong sense of identity and style. With a background in Ghana, Guyana and India, Athena Kugblenu has a different angle on what it means to have three cultures, peoples perceptions and prejudices against her, plus the amazement that someone with dreadlocks can cook a mean curry.
