Critically acclaimed comic, internationally famed meme and wonderfully nice gentleman, Nish Kumar is a comedian, and a bloody good one at that (Time Out). Nish has achieved huge success on the stand-up circuit with five rave reviewed solo stand-up shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, two of which have been nominated for the prestigious Comedy Award for Best Show.

Alongside stand-up Nish is a frequent voice and face across both television and radio, following a successful pilot in 2016, Nish completed two series of his own topical show for BBC Radio 4, Spotlight Tonight, which he also hosts as well as hosting both The News Quiz and Newsjack. On screen you can catch up with Nish on the likes of Q.I., Mock The Week and Live At The Apollo (BBC Two) both as a stand-up guest and host, Have I Got News For You and The John Bishop Show (BBC One), 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4), Russell Howard’s Stand-Up for Central, Drunk History, The Alternative Comedy Experience and Live At The Comedy Store (Comedy Central), Alan Davies As Yet Untitled and Taskmaster (Dave). Nish starred alongside fellow comic Joel Dommett in a six-part travelogue for Comedy Central, Joel and Nish vs The World and hosted his own satirical, spoof, news series, The Mash Report, for BBC Two.

Nish is also the co-host of Pod Save the UK, a podcast where he and Coco Khan are joined by politicians, experts and famous friends to unpick the latest news, look for solutions, and inspire action.
