British Comedy Guide, 26th January 2018This week, Joel Dommett's globe-trotting challenge show finds him off to Kenya to ascertain whether he's tough enough to live the life of a Maasai tribesman. He is soon being thrashed with sticks, mocked mercilessly for his piss-poor jumping skills, and force-fed goat, while his pal Nish Kumar stands there making quips and being surplus to requirements. Though Kumar does discover that his name means "no vagina" in Swahili, so there's that.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 18th September 2017A thinly veiled excuse to show buff comedian Joel Dommett with his top off, this new series finds him travelling the globe to pit himself against some of the most rugged folk there are. His friend Nish Kumar goes along, too, just to watch and quip. This week, they head to Mongolia where Dommett tries the archery, horsemanship and wrestling central to its nomadic population. He makes a royal tool of himself attempting the latter.
