Opinion: In defence of Daniel Kitson, by Paul Sinha
Earlier this week journalist Nosheen Iqbal wrote an opinion piece in the Guardian headlined "Daniel Kitson can't reclaim a racist word he's never been the target of." The piece prompted considerable debate on social media among other comedians. Here stand-up Paul Sinha expands upon his issues with the article.

Joanne Welford, Teesside Gazette, 19th April 2016Interview: Paul Sinha
Acclaimed stand-up Paul Sinha brought his show Postcards from the Z List to last year's Edinburgh Fringe after a four-year break from the festival. "Looking back, life as a travelling single gaysian delivering lefty, liberal jokes was quite straightforward. Now he has to juggle the responsibilities of being an uncle, being in an actual relationship for the first time in 20 years, and being that bloke, from that quiz, in that poorly-fitting white suit. It's not easy." Paul's bringing Postcards... to the Tobacco Factory Theatres later this month.
