Uncut with Stephen K Amos - The People W...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Joining the podcast today is comedian, TV personality and camp mate from the South African jungle Stephen K Amos!
Britt got to know Stephen in their month in Africa together and they formed a special friendship built on some very personal and impactful conversations. Stephen joins us today with some of the funniest accidentally unfiltered stories (yes, plural) that we have ever heard!
Stephen is such a laugh and a half and as funny as he is, he is equally as deep and thoughtful. 

We spoke about:

  • Time in the jungle 
  • His life growing up in a Nigerian family in South London
  • Expectations and being a ‘role model’ when he didn’t expect to be
  • Always being labelled as a ‘Black comedian’ and eventually ‘Black, gay comedian’
  • Push back on political comedy ‘ruining’ comedy
  • Stephen’s encounter with the Pope and his unexpected response to Stephen’s sexuality 
  • Performing for the Royal family
  • Accepting himself and his body; wearing shorts for the first time EVER in the jungle
