SUMMARY:The Exchange: An Evening with Konstantin Kisin
DESCRIPTION:Join Russian-British comedian\, podcaster\, writer and social commentator Konstantin Kisin in conversation about his new book. \nFor all the West’s failings – terrible food\, cold weather\, and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few – it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union\, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong\, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn’t until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society\, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise. \nFunny\, provocative and unswervingly perceptive\, his Sunday Times bestseller ‘An Immigrant’s Love letter to the West’ interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West – and Britain – today\, and that despite all its ups and downs\, it remains one of the best places to live in the world. \nAfter all\, if an immigrant can’t publicly profess their appreciation for this country\, who can? \n‘Kisin’s book has a powerful moral quality that makes it worth reading’ – Sunday Times \nKonstantin Kisin is a Russian-British comedian\, podcaster\, writer and social commentator. He is a regular contributor on television and radio and is frequently described as an “objective voice from the centre of the political spectrum”. \nHe is also the creator and co-host of the TRIGGERnometry YouTube show where two comics interview economists\, political experts\, journalists and social commentators about interesting\, controversial and challenging subjects. \nBook on the website or directly through the Concierge. Tickets are £10.
