"Russell Peters stole my shit!" So alleges dynamic and outspoken comic Gina Yashere, who sold up and left the UK to make it in the United States, becoming the only Brit ever to feature on "Def Jam". She pulls no punches in this compelling interview, venting her frustration at the producers of Mock The Week and Last Comic Standing, as well as condemning the TV industry's apparent preference for "non-threatening" black acts.Sponsor the podcast at comedianscomedian.comMock The Week, Stewart Lee, Standup, Michael McIntyre, Greg Proops, Gina Yashere, Jay Leno, Def Comedy Jam, Def Jam, Last Comic Standing, Tony Law, The Comedy Store, Ros Jeep, Chortle, Jocelyn Jee Esien, Frankie Boyle, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Damon Wayans, MOBOs Hosted on Acast.
