Famous political comedian Nish Kumar heads to Aylesbury on latest UK tour

Nish Kumar, the former Taskmaster contestant and host of the Mash Report, is heading to Aylesbury Waterside Theatre.

On September 13, he will be performing Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy, which follows sellout UK tours completed in the two previous years.

As well as his sharp wit, Nish is known for his biting political commentary. He co-hosts the popular Pod Save the UK, which breaks down all the goings on in Westminster and beyond.

It is said that as Nish enters his 40s his mind is breaking. His body is worse. But audiences can still expect existential angst and political disquiet from comedy's cheekiest boy.

The tagline for the upcoming tour is: 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).

Nish said: "I looked out of the window and the world was ending. Stand up comedy was the only thing that made sense to me - then it was co-opted by charlatans in service of autocrats. I'm going back on tour to try and reconnect with the thing I love more than anything else. I promise the show will be funnier than this.”

He has been named one of the 50 best comedians of the 21st century by both The Guardian and The Telegraph. Nish is also a two-time nominee for Best Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

He is also a fixture on UK households’ television screens, regularly appearing on Have I Got News For You, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, QI, Live at the Apollo, and other panel shows.

Nish also released a Netflix special as part of the Comedians of The World series, and he appeared alongside fellow comics Joel Dommett in 12-part travelogue Joel & Nish vs The World for Comedy Central. Ticketing information can be found on his website here.
