Nish Kumar Announces 2026 UK Tour ‘Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy’ as Presale Opens Today

Presale opens today for the politically charged run that follows his sold-out 2024/25 dates.

Overview

  • Tickets go on presale today, January 28, with general sale from January 30 via nishkumar.co.uk.
  • The tour runs September to November 2026, opening in Belfast on September 9.
  • Confirmed stops include York Barbican on September 23, Leeds Playhouse on October 3, The Lowry in Salford on October 4, Colchester’s Charter Hall on October 8, Hull Truck Theatre on October 9, and Scarborough Spa on November 14.
  • The show is billed as a politically minded set responding to widening inequality and rising autocracy, with Kumar saying stand-up was “co-opted by charlatans in service of autocrats.”
  • Kumar promises “the show will be funnier than this,” and launches the tour on the back of his sold-out 2024/25 ‘Nish, Don’t Kill My Vibe’ dates across the UK, North America, Australasia and mainland Europe.
