Edinburgh Fringe
Raul Kohli: Raul Britannia
The complex topic of racism is tackled brilliantly in this hour. It's not a lecture - the very-likeable Raul Kohli makes sure the audience are entertained with a consistent delivery of jokes.
Award-winning comedian and proud Brit Raul Kohli is the son of a Hindu Indian and a Sikh Singaporean, raised in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where his best friend was a Pakistani Muslim. He has lived in every corner of this glorious nation and is fascinated by the diversity of these small isles. Imagine his surprise to hear from politicians and the media that multiculturalism has failed. 'One of the best comedians in England' (BBC Radio 4) explores what it means to be British. 'Superb political comedy' (Scotsman); 'Dripping with erudite genius' (Fest).
