Do you hear that? It might sound like nothing to you, but it's actually the sound of nuclear, wind and solar energy.

At EDF, we're busy generating more British

zero carbon electricity than anyone to help keep future energy

cost down for everyone and help cut UK carbon emissions to nothing. Sound good to you? Find out more about our

zero carbon generation at EDF Energy.com slash Help in Britain. Hello and this is the show for you if you're bored of people arguing.

Hello and welcome to trigonometry I'm Francis Foster.

I'm Constantine Kishin.

And this is the show for you if you're bored of people arguing on the internet over subjects they know nothing about.

At trigonometry we don't pretend to be the experts. We ask the experts.

Our brilliant guest this week is a fantastic comedian.

Scott Kapura, welcome to Chigonometry.

Thank you very much. And the first question we always ask people is how did you get to where you are today?

You've been a comedian for a long time.

Yeah, I have. I was an actor and I was

doing a play and some of the people I worked with were comedians by trade and they suggested I give

it a try so I went to a club with them. I tried in LA but I didn't really, when I lived in LA

when I was at university, I didn't really like it because I was closeted on stage and it didn't feel right. Anyway, once in San Francisco with this play, I went to a club and there's some openly just alternative performers

on stage and I found it inspiring lots of women performing and all sorts of

double acts and stuff and then a couple of homos and it just felt fresh.

Comedy had felt, the scripted quality of it felt really stale to me when I lived in Los Angeles right after I left Irvine University.

I just felt like what I was watching was more of a seminar or a lecture. but I mean I was being told things by, you know,

middle-aged white guys.
