Comedian Nish Kumar confirms Leicester date for new UK stand-up tour

Comedian Nish Kumar is bringing his ‘increasingly decrepit body’ to Leicester for his UK stand up tour. The Mock the Week star promised laughs in a bid to bring some joy to the world.

Nish is a familiar face to many comedy viewers, becoming a regular on shows and panel programs over the years. As well as appearances on the BBC’s Mock the Week and Have I Got News For You, he went on to host The Mash Report and stars alongside fellow comic Josh Widdicombe in Sky’s journalist-themed comic outing Hold The Front Page.

Now Nish comes to Leicester as part of his 2024 UK tour ‘Nish, Don’t Kill My Vibe’. The highly political comedy will be at De Montfort Hall in September – just months after Britain went to the polls and just before the US decides its next president – but aims to bring laughs and not politics to the stage.

Billed as “80 minutes of sweet, sweet murder”, Nish’s show will aim to shed light on a year dominated by much darker politics and world events. He will also seek to address climate collapse, income inequality and the gut feeling of being a British Indian who will not vote for a British Indian Prime Minister.

Nish said: “As the world crumbles around us, I’m looking forward to dragging my increasingly decrepit body on tour and doing the only thing that makes sense to me – stand up comedy.”

The UK tour starts at the Oxford Playhouse on Friday 6 September and finishes at Southend’s Palace Theater on Thursday 28 November. Tickets are now on sale ahead of his Leicester show on Sunday September 22 at De Montfort Hall. More information, including ticket prices, can be found on the Nish website.
