2018 Edinburgh Fringe
Nish Kumar: It's in Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves (Work in Progress)
Double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and host of The Mash Report trials new material for a national tour. The title is a quote from Terminator 2. There will be jokes about politics, mankind's capacity for self-destruction and some jokes that simply don't work. Come watch someone build something. As seen on Live At The Apollo, Taskmaster, QI and Have I Got News For You. 'One of the best young comedians we have' (Times). 'A masterclass by a no-frills stand-up at the height of his powers' (Guardian).
