Nish Kumar: Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy

The relative downgrade in the wellbeing of Western civilzation is liable to be bad for Nish Kumar’s mental health – the political comic gives the impression of taking every one of Trump’s depravities personally – but good for his audience: his mill is overflowing with grist. Expect darkly amusing dissection of the news, delivered by a man who gives every impression of being on the cusp of either a panic attack or combustuing from fury or possibly both. These Edinburgh dates are billed as work-in-progress, but given he launches straight into a national tour in September expect it to be slick as it’s ever going to be come the end of this run.
