Comedy star Nish Kumar is coming to St Albans later this year as part of his new UK tour.

The host of The Mash Report and Pod Save the UK has announced dates for his tour, Nish, Don’t Kill My Vibe, with a stop at The Alban Arena scheduled for November 23.

The 80-minute show will tackle the climate crisis, income equality and, as the general election approaches, "the emotional sensation of being a British Indian man who isn’t going to vote for a British Indian Prime Minister".

"As the world collapses around us, I look forward to dragging my increasingly decrepit body out on tour and doing the only thing that still makes sense to me – stand up comedy," said Nish.

A regular on shows including Taskmaster, Live At The Apollo, QI, Have I Got News For You, and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Nish is one of the UK's most beloved comics, even being named among The Guardian and The Telegraph’s 50 Best Comedians of the 21st century.

Tickets for Nish Kumar's Nish, Don't Kill My Vibe tour go on sale this Friday (January 26). You can get yours by visiting www.nishkumar.co.uk.
