Nish Kumar: Angry Humour From A Really Nice Guy

Nish Kumar is at the Wyvern Theatre on Friday 30 October, bringing his new tour Angry Humour From A Really Nice Guy to Swindon. He's touring with brand-new material, so this is a fresh set rather than a run-through of his old stuff. He frames the show around the world's current troubles — inequality, autocracy and collapsing political parties — and delivers it with the fury, intelligence and warmth that have made him one of the most influential voices in British comedy today.

If you've come across him recently, you'll know him as one of the UK's leading political comedians. He co-hosts the podcast Pod Save the UK, and he used to host the BBC's The Mash Report before it was axed. He's also one of Taskmaster's greatest losers, which is a title he wears with a certain pride. Now in his 40s, he was named one of the 50 Best Comedians of the 21st Century by both The Guardian and The Telegraph, and his previous tour played to sold-out crowds across the UK, North America, Australasia and mainland Europe.

The show is for ages 14 and up, with strong language throughout. Tickets are £28, and the performance starts at 19:30, with doors opening about 30 minutes before that. It's at the Wyvern Theatre, in the Main Auditorium.
