Stand-up show by political comic Nish Kumar, billed as the UK's leading political comic and former host of The Mash Report.
Nish Kumar brings his new tour, Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy, to the Scarborough Spa Theatre on Saturday 14 November. It's a stand-up show from a comic who's built a career on political satire and observational humour, and this one follows a previous tour that played to sold-out crowds across the UK, North America, Australasia and mainland Europe.
Kumar is billed as the UK's leading political comic, and he's well known for a few different things: he co-hosts the Pod Save the UK podcast, he was the host of the BBC's The Mash Report before it was axed, and he's earned a reputation as one of Taskmaster's greatest losers. Now in his 40s, he's been named by both The Guardian and The Telegraph among the 50 Best Comedians of the 21st Century.
The reviews on his work tend to lean into that political edge. The Guardian called him 'the pre-eminent comic political polemicist of our time', The Times described him as 'roaringly funny', and the New York Times said he carried the spirit of Bill Hicks. The show is presented by Plosive Live in association with PBJ Management.
