Following a limited run last year and a hit nationwide tour, Hardeep Singh Kohli will be bringing his critically acclaimed stand-up show Hardeep Is Your Love back to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Pleasance Dome from 30 July - 25 August.

After three critically acclaimed tours that have tantalized the tastebuds of audiences across the UK with his culinary skills and anecdotes, Hardeep has decided to step out from behind his hotplate and take to the stage with only a microphone and an evening's worth of top class humour.

Hardeep examines the pitfalls and triumphs of a pure soul searching for love ... unfortunately that soul is trapped in the body of a 43-year-old, hairy, fat, brown man from Glasgow. Enjoy a delectable hour of storytelling, drizzled in wordplay and garnished in gags as he serves up a show about love, romance and, the inevitable, heartbreak as hot as one of his curries.

Hardeep is a regular panellist on Channel 5's hugely popular current affairs show, The Wright Stuff and has been a regular reporter on BBC1's The One Show and a guest on BBC 1's Question Time, and This Week with Andrew Neil. For Channel 4 he has written and presented the BAFTA Award-winning In Search of the Tartan Turban, the critically acclaimed and award winning Hardeep Does... and the seminal gambling series 50 Says You'll Watch This.

As a journalist, his column in Scotland on Sunday called "Hardeep is Your Love" saw him twice nominated in 2007 and 2008 for Scottish Columnist of the Year at the Scottish Press Awards. He is also Contributing Editor on the Spectator Magazine, has written for the Independent on Sunday, The Times, Observer Woman, Conde Nast Traveller to name but a few.

Having started his broadcasting career in radio he still holds the wireless very dear, presenting extensively across Radio 4 and Radio 5 Live and has made a plethora of documentaries for Radios 2, 3 and 4.
