Sarah Brown talks to British Comedian Nish Kumar about the anger he felt at racist abuse directed at him in his first gig after the UK’s Brexit result and how he channeled this fury and frustration into his current stand up tour ‘Actions speak louder than words, even when you shout the words real loud’.

As Nish Kumar’s profile as a comedian has continued to grow, more recently his voice has been heard ever louder in public discussions on politics and race in the aftermath of the UK’s Brexit vote. Nish has spoken about the racist abuse he received following the UK’s decision to leave the EU, and the way in which the hostility he has experienced recently, contrasts to his experiences growing up in the 1990s in a British-Indian family. In this interview special, Sarah Brown talks to Nish about his childhood and adult experiences, and the ways in which he is pushing back to tackle head on racist attitudes in the UK and unlock his own activism.
