The final show on Thursday, July 18 brings to Hastings a rising star in the form of Nish Kumar.

His hit show is about being proud of your roots and ashamed about everything else.

He has been described by the Scotsman as ‘impressive and accomplished...full of confidently delivered, wryly witty tales that delight in the quirks and possibilities of language’.

Back In The Room will feature special guests including Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Awards nominee David Trent and deadpan poet Malcolm Head.
