Nish Kumar: Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy

Nish Kumar: Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy tickets and regional UK dates

Nish Kumar brings Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy to Grand Opera House York and Theatre Royal Glasgow. The political stand-up runs two hours and twenty minutes and carries a 14+ age guidance for strong language.

What the show is about

The premise is cheerfully self-aware: the world is in chaos, and what it least needs is a stand-up show about that chaos, yet here one is. Kumar frames inequality, rising autocracy and collapsing political parties as the backdrop, arriving at this tour having turned 40 and noting that both his mind and body are feeling the strain. The billing promises passionate, progressive material alongside existential angst.

Kumar is co-host of the podcast Pod Save the UK and was formerly host of The Mash Report on BBC before its cancellation. His Taskmaster appearances gave him a reputation as one of the show's least successful competitors, a fact the billing leans into directly.

Audience considerations

The show carries a 14+ age guidance and contains strong language. At two hours and twenty minutes it is a substantial evening; check with your chosen venue about interval arrangements if that is relevant to your plans.
