CRITICALLY acclaimed comedian Nish Kumar will bring his new stand up show to Clwb Ifor Bach on Tuesday, November 17.

After the massive sell out success at last year’s Edinburgh Festival of his fourth solo show ‘Ruminations on the Nature of Subjectivity’ (and one of the Top 10 most reviewed shows at the Festival), Nish Kumar is set to tour the UK for the first time with his new show ‘Long Word… Long Word… Blah Blah Blah… I’m So Clever’ which recently won Best International Show at the New Zealand Comedy Festival.

This unmissable show premieres at the Edinburgh Festival’s Pleasance Courtyard this August. This tour follows on the footsteps on two sold out Soho Theatre runs in London where he recorded his forthcoming DVD, directed by The Pajama Men’s Shenoah Allen.

In the new show Nish asks – does comedy need to be politically neutral? Why is comedy leaning to the left and is that even a problem? He examines the changing political landscape and how as we've become more liberal in our outlook on social issues, we've become increasingly conservative economically. He looks at a world in which a black James Bond seems achievable, but at the same time our financial system seems to be based entirely on the game Monopoly.

Alongside his flourishing stand-up career, Nish has also starred in a number of comic plays including ‘The Hotel’ at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2009 for which he had a key role and in ‘Wardens’ at the 2013 Fringe Festival which he did alongside his second solo and critically acclaimed show, ‘Nish Kumar Is a Comedian’ which he also took to acclaimed comedy haunt The Soho Theatre for a two week run in late 2013.

Tickets to the show are available from clwb.net/eng/ or call 02920 232199.
