Can this pod save the UK? (Feat. Mamdani win & Nando’s) | Nish Kumar | Real Talk
About this episode
Nish Kumar discusses the state of progressive politics in the UK and the cultural significance of Nando’s.
Does the UK need its own Zohran Mamdani? “It’s not The Office,” says British comedian Nish Kumar. “You can’t remake it from one country to another.” The acclaimed stand-up comedian sat down with Mohamed Hashem on Real Talk for a conversation that ranged from Mamdani’s win to the UK’s Nando’s obsession. They also unpacked the state of progressive politics in the UK, and what it means to do comedy at a time when Britain’s far right is seen as becoming increasingly emboldened.
