Some comedians take a while to hit their stride. Not Nish Kumar. Within minutes of walking onstage he had taken issue with Donald Trump and Elon Musk, denounced the rise of white supremacy, questioned why we have a monarchy and condemned the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu. And then he finally found the time to breathe.
It was an intense warm up for Nish, Don’t Kill My Vibe. But by his own admission the splenetic satirist has had much to be angry about in recent years. He wasn’t even able to take pleasure in seeing a fellow person of colour as Prime Minister, joking that the only thing he and Rishi Sunak had in common was that they were both British Asians promoted way above their abilities.
