You know him. I know him. Nish Kumar (Pod Save The UK, The Mash Report and in his own words, one of Taskmaster’s greatest losers) returns for his third appearance on the show ahead of embarking on his new tour, Nish Kumar: Angry Humour From a Really Nice Guy. In the first part of this special, we discuss:
- how Bridget Christie, The Mash Report and Taskmaster all gave him permission to be both serious and goofy on stage
- Nish's "candy floss" approach to building a show
- how explaining references for international audiences creates new joke opportunities
- the practical nightmare of reworking one show into wildly different running times
- the difficulty of writing jokes when you can't gauge what an audience already knows
- and how a diagnosis can reshape your understanding of yourself
