Review: Nish Kumar's new tour blends anger and comedy, Guardian critic writes
A Guardian review describes the comedian's Hackney Empire show as both enraged and very funny.
A Guardian review of comedian Nish Kumar's touring show, "Angry Humour from a Really Nice Guy," describes a fast-paced set that mixes current-affairs commentary with personal reflection.
The review, based on a performance at London's Hackney Empire, said the show includes material on Donald Trump and the effects of the internet, delivered in Kumar's rapid, wordplay-heavy style. The critic noted that Kumar has questioned whether political satire remains the right approach given current events, according to the review.
The show is touring until November 27, the Guardian reported.
