No apologies were made and Footlights — by far the most powerful Cambridge comedy society — issued no statement. A month later, the university hosted one of its best-known comedy nights, the Wolfson Howler , where students perform alongside professional comics previous headliners include Josh Widdicombe , Sara Pascoe , Desiree Burch and Paul Sinha.
This time, Footlights did not remain silent. This public call-out rankled Habib. Nevertheless, the decision was made to host an open meeting in the Maypole pub next to the ADC theatre, home of the Footlights, where BME performers could air their grievances and discuss potential solutions.
Keane, along with fellow committee member Louisa Keight, scheduled an event to take place a few days later. Attendees recall a spirit of historic reckoning reminiscent of that forced by Eric Idle who, in , helped secure the admission of women as members. Women had been accepted as performers since the late 50s, but not members; Germaine Greer , then a mature student from the University of Melbourne, became the first female Footlight.
This time, ten of the eleven Footlights committee members attended. Ken Cheng, a former committee member who, in , reached the final of the BBC new comedy award , compered. Cheng, who is British-born Chinese, invited BME members of the audience to begin by sharing their perspectives.
There was no shortage of volunteers and people spoke, uninterrupted, for a full hour. It was claimed they would often choose friends or people they went to school with. Keane agreed there was a need for systemic change. She proposed moving to an open-voting system, which would block the outgoing committee from choosing their friends to replace them.
But while the conclusions of the meeting were unanimously agreed by the three Footlights members in attendance, when Keane reported back to the rest of the committee, she was overruled. Having publicly promised change, Keane felt unable to continue in her role as president. But her surprise resignation had a ripple effect. When the year ended, the committee members who had been against reform moved on, and the new committee went ahead and implemented everything Keane had promised. In , for the first time in its year history, Footlights is without a president, led, instead, by a democratically elected committee.
Their set is deliciously funny and challenging in the way it engages with race, class and privilege — politically pointed in a way that the main Footlights show, performed across the road in a more leisurely afternoon slot, is not. It is a sense of alienation that was instilled, Baalbaki says, at school. You should take it out. Messages like these teach a child, Sylla argues, that they do not have a right to exist in certain spaces.
A lack of exposure heightens the sense of alienation for minorities when auditioning for it, Baalbaki says.

You share cultural capital. This year, as part of the swingeing changes to the way in which Footlights operates, the society visited state schools in Manchester, Chester, Essex, Croydon and Dorset to host workshops for less-advantaged pupils — the first time, in recent years at least, that the club has made a concerted effort to engage with institutions from which it would not turn a profit the troupe performed ticketed events in each town, using the proceeds to pay for the school visits.
As well as an increase in the number of BME-only comedy nights, Footlights now supports Stockings , comedy nights for women to try out jokes in a supportive environment. But with so much fame and privilege behind this society, we should use that power for good.
Not everyone is convinced of the usefulness of women- or BME-only nights, however. The issues with which Footlights has been reckoning reflect those in the wider industry. Diversity of membership means diversity of perspective. And diversity of perspective is the only thing, ultimately, that prevents comedy from becoming hackneyed. The complex issues of structural inequality, bias and class seen in Footlights also define the wider world of professional comedy.

Some alumni are choosing to take up the fight here, on the wider stage. Having completed her studies at Cambridge, Keane, the first Footlights president to resign, has joined Next Up , a company that helps women and non-white comedians film their shows. Meanwhile, Habib has returned from the FootDarks run at Edinburgh with a diary full of meetings with agents.
In an earlier version, details of two separate meetings of the Footlights committee to discuss BME issues were erroneously conflated into one event. Some text has been changed to clarify the timeline and circumstances of these two separate meetings. College tutors; Heads of Houses; Customer Reviews Average Review. See All Customer Reviews.
