Taskmaster comedian claims he witnessed more prejudice in six weeks in Chichester than in the rest of his life

Chichester Festival Theatre cancelled its October 13 show of A Midsummer Night's Dream after an actor was 'aggressively hounded and physically pursued' through the city centre before curtain-up. Munya Chawawa says that incident was only the 'tip of the iceberg'. He claims Brit School pupils who came to watch had 'blackies' screamed at them from a car as it drove past. The city was recently hailed as 'one of the world's best travel destinations'.

An audience member was allegedly called the N-word by a boy on a bike.
