It's a shame, because the Daily Mash website from where the Mash Report came was hilarious until about five years ago, and pretty balanced politically, then went all hate-filled after the referendum.

Genuinely never put those 2 together. The daily mash was pretty funny.

It looks like this has been picked up by Dave. New series, now called Late Night Mash, starts Sept 2nd.

It still hits the spot but not as much as it used to and more than a few of the articles now have a very particular political stance. It was much better when it was taking shots at all sides.

I was looking forward to the TV show when it first came out but pretty quickly it became apparent that like most 'comedy' on TV these days, it was all about pushing a message.

Comedy is at its best when it's free to criticise anyone and everyone and say anything, not when it is trying to fit an agenda.

The women on it were good but that Nish Kumar has got a face for radio and a voice for silent films.

He annoys me on other shows when he screams with laughter at every 'joke'!

I once suffered him live as support for Milton Jones.

His whole act was "You're white, you're racist". If it had been funny at the same time maybe I could have enjoyed it, but he was, frankly, st.

Luckily Milton was funny, so it took some of the nasty taste away...

Nish Kumar could be really, really funny, and he still wouldn’t be as funny as Nish Kumar thinks Nish Kumar is.

As it stands, I think he’s very approximately funny, but the above means I can’t stand him.

Nish Kumar is annoying and unfunny. I'm not saying that I am any less annoying or any funnier, but I aren't on TV trying not to be either.

The sooner be and his ilk all disappear back to stacking shelves in Asda the better.

Back to his own country or something?

I don't really get the hate for him. Yes, he's woke, left wing, and also a feminist ally, which I can see would upset people of a certain "puce-faced disposition" but for me I find him, and the Mash, a refreshing change and in alignment with my own views.

Talking of which, how are people finding the re-launch on Dave? The 2nd episode just aired.

Yep. Went from South Park style of poking fun at everyone to becoming an angrier version of the grauniad
