Nish Kumar, most recently seen on The Mash Report, introduces more excellent standups riffing on Anglo-Asian culture, including former hip-hop DJ Sunil Patel ("There's a lot of similarity between my life growing up in Bath and the lives of young black men in Compton") and Sukh Ojla ("I'm single by choice. It's not my choice").

The Edinburgh Fringe: ten to see

With just over one week left of the world's greatest arts festival, Ian Cater lists his top ten comedy shows to see if you're lucky enough to be north of the border before the Edinburgh Fringe comes to a close on 27th August. And if you can't make it up there, continue to follow What's On London on Facebook and Twitter for news of when these fantastic shows are heading here.

Nish Kumar hosts this standup showcase over two nights as part of the BBC's Big British Asian Summer. It is a smart, very funny alternative to the plodding middle-of-the-road-fest of Live at the Apollo. Highlights of tonight's show include Eshaan Akbar talking about his parents' casual racism towards each other and Emily Lloyd-Saini relating an encounter with a flirty waxing technician. Looking for more laughs? Edinburgh Nights with Nish Kumar follows at 11.05pm, in which he takes a look behind the scenes at the festival.
