Nish Kumar: Angry Humour from a Really Nice Guy

The world is in chaos. Inequality is widening, autocracy is rising and political parties are collapsing. In these divided times, what this country desperately needs is Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy (in many ways it’s actually the last thing this country needs, but it’s what it’s getting so tough luck). The UK’s leading political comic Nish Kumar – co-host of hugely popular podcast Pod Save the UK, former host of axed BBC show The Mash Report, and one of Taskmaster’s greatest losers – is back on tour with a formidable batch of passionate, progressive stand-up for the ages. Kumar is 40. His mind is breaking. His body is worse. Expect existential angst and political disquiet from comedy’s cheekiest boy. Nish Kumar was named one of the 50 Best Comedians of the 21st Century by both The Guardian and The Telegraph, with his previous tour playing to sold out crowds across the UK, North America, Australasia and mainland Europe. ★★★★ “The pre-eminent comic political polemicist of our time” Guardian ★★★★ “Roaringly funny” Times “Virtuoso….carried the spirit of the ferocious comic Bill Hicks in a way that I haven’t seen in many years.” New York Times “A superb, motormouthed roller-coaster of a standup hour” New Yorker
