Award-winning comedian, Nish Kumar is back with a brand-new show. Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy will come to Hull Truck Theatre in October.
Organisers said: “Fresh off the back of the success of Nish, Don’t Kill My Vibe, Nish Kumar is at the top of his game and will be returning to the road once again this year. Praised by critics for its blistering political insight and fearless honesty alongside emotional depth, Nish, Don’t Kill My Vibe was a defining moment in Nish’s career, blending his trademark high-energy with more personal reflections on mental health and modern life.
“As he gears up with brand-new material, audiences will be on the receiving end of a bold, fast-paced and unflinchingly smart new show; tackling big, uncomfortable questions and delivered with the fury, intelligence and warmth that have made Nish one of the most influential voices in British comedy today.” He is known as co-host of the hugely popular podcast Pod Save the UK and former host of BBC show The Mash Report.
Nish was named one of the 50 Best Comedians of the 21st Century by both The Guardian and The Telegraph. He has also achieved huge success on the stand-up circuit with six rave reviewed solo stand-up shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, two of which have been nominated for the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show in both 2015 and 2016. Nish’s last tour, Nish Don’t Kill My Vibe , received widespread praise after it kicked off in September 2024 and went on to tour across the world, playing to sold out crowds in the UK, North America, Australasia and mainland Europe.
He said: “I looked out of the window and the world was ending. Stand up comedy was the only thing that made sense to me – then it was co-opted by charlatans in service of autocrats. I’m going back on tour to try and reconnect with the thing I love more than anything else. I promise the show will be funnier than this.”
The show will be at Hull Truck Theatre on Friday, October 9. Tickets will be on sale in February.
