Political comedian and TV star Nish Kumar has announced he will be hitting the road with a brand-new stand-up show this autumn.

The funnyman will be visiting venues across the UK and Ireland later this year, with dates including Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells and Gravesend.

Tickets for the tour, entitled Nish Don’t Kill My Vibe, go on sale this Friday (January 26). You can book tickets for all dates online here.

The comic will play a string of dates towards the end of the year, starting with London’s Hackney Empire on Saturday, September 7 and finishing at the Palace Theatre in Southend on Thursday, November 28.

Nish, who began performing in 2012 and rose to fame on the comedy circuit, is known for weaving his political views and topics such as climate change, race and income inequality into his live shows.

He has appeared on TV shows such as Taskmaster and Mock the Week and, since 2017, has hosted satirical panel show the Mash Report, now known as Late Night Mash.

The Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee also hosts the Pod Save The UK podcast and has released comedy specials on Sky Comedy and Netflix.

Nish Kumar will be at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury on Wednesday, November 6.

He will then return to the county for a night at the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells on Wednesday, November 20 and a final date at The Woodville in Gravesend on Thursday, January 21.
