About

 

It has been a period of upheaval and uncertainty with COVID and the political situation. You will be amazed by my capacity to somehow take all these things personally.

“Comedian Nish Kumar was booed off stage after making Brexit jokes at a charity event on Monday night.” – BBC News Report – 3rd December 2019

“Man, I’ve got grown men @ing me bulls**t/You’re getting way too old for the timeline” – Stormzy

….CONTROL

“I was at a hospital the other night where I think there were a few coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody, you will be pleased to know, and I continue to shakehands” Boris Johnson – 3rd March 2020.

‘Kumar is the smartest, and often the silliest, political comic we’ve got: acute, furious and often the ridiculous fall guy of his own jokes’ – The Guardian

‘Massively charming and very witty….a delightful talent’ – Time Out

‘Very funny indeed’ – The I

‘One of the best comedians we have’ – The Times

 

On screen you can catch up with Nish on the likes of Q.I., Mock The Week & Live At The Apollo (BBC Two), Have I Got News For You & The John Bishop Show (BBC One), 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4), Russell Howard’s Stand-Up for Central, Drunk History, The Alternative Comedy Experience & Live At The Comedy Store (all Comedy Central), Alan Davies As Yet Untitled (Dave) and Taskmaster (Dave). Nish starred alongside fellow comic Joel Dommett in a 6-part travelogue for Comedy Central, Joel and Nish vs The World and hosts his own satirical, spoof, news series, The Mash Report, for BBC Two.
