Nish Kumar

From Thurs 15 Oct View Venues, Dates & Times

“Once you get established as a comedian,” says Nish Kumar, “you have to start taking comedy seriously, which is obviously an oxymoron. When you’re a nobody, you can just go up to the Edinburgh Fringe to get drunk and have fun.”

Nish’s days of anonymity - inebriated or otherwise - are a long way behind him. The London-born comedian has hit the big time, and done so simply by being his usual affable self. “For years, I thought comedians had to be confrontational or awkward,” he told the Guardian. “But then I realised, if people basically like you and think you’re an okay guy, they’ll listen to you talk about absolutely anything.”
