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. The UK’s leading political comic Nish Kumar – co-host of hugely popular podcast Pod Save the UK, former host of axed BBC show The Mash Report, and one of Taskmaster’s greatest losers – is back on tour with a formidable batch of passionate, progressive stand-up for the ages.
Expect existential angst and political disquiet from comedy’s cheekiest boy.
