NISH Kumar brings his latest stand-up comedy tour to Leeds on October 23.

Nish last year won the Telegraph’s Top 5 Shows To See In 2015 award and is now touring his fifth solo show.

It is entitled Actions Speak Louder Than Words Unless You Shout The Words Real Loud, and includes topics like gentrification and colonisation.

Nish wonders, have rich people ruined the world? Are hipsters and trendy people to blame for bad legislation? And why are we still proud of the British Empire and not ashamed?

He puts across his own conspiracy theories, and also asks whether there is any point in doing comedy about politics?

He also asks: “Does shouting form the sidelines actually achieve anything? Is profiting from political comedy a double standard?”

Nish appears frequently on both television and radio.

Since 2015 he has hosted the topical comedy show Newsjack for Radio 4 Extra, which earlier this year won the Rose D'or for Best Radio Comedy Show.

On screen he has appeared on Live From The BBC, Have I Got News For You, The John Bishop Show and Live at the Comedy Store.

Last year Nish received a Fosters Comedy Edinburgh Award nomination and received great reviews for his sell-out show, entitled Long Word… Long Word… Blah Blah Blah…I’m So Clever, which went on to tour the UK, ending with a four-week at London’s Soho Theatre.

According to Brian Logan of the Guardian, the sure Edinburgh Festival was a “masterclass”.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words Unless You Shout The Words Real Loud will be performed at the Wardrobe in Leeds on October 23.
