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").
