Beyond The Joke

Named by the New York Times as “one of the most exciting political comics in stand-up today”, Hari Kondabolu is returning to London for the first time in two years for two nights only at Soho Theatre on 10th and 11th October.

Thirty Christmases is to receive its London premiere from 4-23 December.

Named in The Stage's Top 10 UK Christmas Shows 2016, it was commissioned last year for Oxford's Old Fire Station and is written by Jonny Donahoe of musical combo Jonny & The Baptists. Stuffed with music, laughter and love, the show now comes to London for three weeks at the New Diorama Theatre. 

Very nice work if you can get it. For Nish Kumar anyway. For Joel Dommett it is more painful.

In this new globetrotting series Joel Dommett and Nish Kumar travel the world visiting some of the toughest people on the planet to see if they can do what the locals do. Well, at least fitness obsessive Dommett does. Most of the time, judging from this first episode, Kumar stands around with his hands in his pockets laughing and/or offering a sarcastic commentary.

The third series of Stand Up Central hosted by Chris Ramsey will premiere on Comedy Central UK on 27th September, 2017 at 10pm. 

In each episode Ramsey will introduce two guest comedians.
