Nish Kumar: Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy

The world is in chaos. Inequality is widening, autocracy is rising and political parties are collapsing. In these divided times, what this country desperately needs is Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy (in many ways it's actually the last thing this country needs, but it's what it's getting so tough luck). The UK’s leading political comic Nish Kumar – co-host of hugely popular podcast Pod Save the UK, former host of axed BBC show The Mash Report, and one of Taskmaster’s greatest losers – is back on tour with a formidable batch of passionate, progressive stand-up for the ages. Kumar is 40. His mind is breaking. His body is worse. Expect existential angst and political disquiet from comedy's cheekiest boy. Nish Kumar was named one of the 50 Best Comedians of the 21st Century by both The Guardian and The Telegraph, with his previous tour playing to sold out crowds across the UK, North America, Australasia and mainland Europe. ‘The pre-eminent comic political polemicist of our time’ Guardian ‘Roaringly funny’ Times ‘Virtuoso....carried the spirit of the ferocious comic Bill Hicks in a way that I haven’t seen in many years.’ New York Times ‘A superb, motormouthed roller-coaster of a standup hour’ New Yorker Age guidance: 14+ Includes strong language Presented by Plosive Live in association with PBJ Management

From The Jam

From the Jam was formed naturally in 2004 by Russell Hastings with 2/3 of the original lineup featuring Rick Buckler (The Jam) and Bruce Foxton (The Jam). The band have toured extensively worldwide and even to this day playing to adoring fans worldwide including the original fans and of course younger ones being brought up on this music! Russell and the guys are known for not trying to be like Paul Bruce and Rick but magically they sound identical and with as much passion as the guys produced in those five years from 77 through to 82. “I just go up and sing the songs how I remember them being sung and I am many thousands of shows in now and I also had the good fortune of playing with Bruce and Rick for many years and then becoming my dearest friends so we ended up sharing the idiosyncrasies of the songs which I guess gives its authenticity. Who knows? It just works and people love singing those songs that mean so much to them!” Russell Hastings Rick left the band in 2010 to pursue other projects leaving both Bruce Foxton and Russell Hastings to form forces with Mark Brzezicki from Big Country on drum duties. It was around this time that the first ‘Foxton and Hastings’ album was born ‘Back In The Room’ recorded at Paul Weller’s Black Barn Studios and also featuring Paul Weller on three or four songs including the hit single ‘Number Six’ with Paul on piano duties. The band continued touring filling larger and larger venues worldwide across Japan America and Australia.
