Nish Kumar – Dropping the C-word, Fighting Fascists & Partying with J-Lo.

Whats My Age Again Podcast

6,728 views

Comedy royalty Nish Kumar reflects on his experience meeting OG baddie Jennifer Lopez, how Brett Goldstein got him into therapy, and why he chased Boris Johnson’s car screaming the C-word.

They discuss the mental toll of having the right-wing press turn against you, and why it will never stop Nish’s truth telling. He also reveals all about turning down Last One Laughing and why you can’t put a price on your integrity.

After decades of pints pints pints, Nish has turned over a new leaf as he enters his 40s and at the very least is entertaining the idea of drinking less. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

He also opens up about his life changing experiences with EMDR therapy and all the bones he’s broken while playing football.

But will a lifetime of standing up for the little man have taken a toll on his longevity?

Let’s see what his biological age has to say…

Love Nish! So glad he’s taking better care of himself so we can have his brilliance hopefully for longer. Really enjoyed this episode. I liked how it touched on trauma and mental health (albeit a bit too briefly). I wish it delved more into epigenetics and how intergenerational trauma gets coded into dna especially for brown folks (and other marginalized communities). Because even if one is a second generation brown person from an immigrant background, the barriers and struggles your parents faced from either being displaced from your homelands or facing war and racism and economic barriers when moving to a new country really impacts trauma being passed down despite perhaps growing up with less barriers as a child of marginalized immigrants yourself. It makes me wonder whether if someone like Nish had grown up with a more privileged background like your other guest Louis Theroux, would he have a better biological age.

Really interesting to learn more about Nish - I never noticed how much he sounds like David Baddiel until I watched this!

If all these podcasts (what an epidemic they've become) were people, there would be an ongoing investigation in the nature of their relation for pressing suspicions of the incestuous nature of the same.

I looked up what comedian and don't know him at all. I am from the US but I don't know that many us comedians cuz I like the british ones better. My grandfather was from a bit ne of Liverpool and British humor was the best.

So we are still doing this insane background, ugh nope I can’t it’s awful 😞 shame I like the format but you’ve cheapened the whole thing into nonsense with the crazy children’s tv backdrop.
