The UK’s leading political comic Nish Kumar is back on tour with a formidable batch of passionate, progressive stand-up for the ages.

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.

Kumar is 40. His mind is breaking. His body is worse. Expect existential angst and political disquiet from comedy's cheekiest boy.

As seen and heard on Pod Save the UK, Taskmaster, and The Mash Report.

Presented by Plosive Live in association with PBJ Management
