    If it if it was not for racism he wouldn't have an act. It seems to be the only thing he goes on about.

    I like him, think he is genuinely funny and that article seems spot on to me.

    His TV programmes are all excellent.

    It really isn't.

    I think he's one of the better comedians out there.

    He’s a friend of mine that I’ve known for years, the entire family are really nice and being funny just seems to be in their blood 😂

    Seems like a nice guy, very self deprecating, and a vegan to boot.

    He gave an interesting interview about being vegan, he told the Metro that it was awful and nowhere near as good as eating meat and dairy.

    yeah, he must be constantly grateful to racism for giving him a career

    But it’s something worth going on about. The more people that have a voice on tv, radio or print that speak out about racism, the more chance it will decline in public day to day situations.

    Saw him last night doing a warm.up gig in my home town. Spoke about Liam Neeson  and Millwall fans but took.it as being ironic rather than moaning about racism. First time seeing him live and have to say thought he was very good and sees the funny of someone being racist from his own perspective.

    A few years back he wrote an article about his favourite teacher who happened to be an old friend of mine.

    I like him. He’s like a Sri Lankan Jack Dee. 

    I really don’t see him as a comic that goes on about race that much to be honest. Nish Kumar on the other hand.......

    He's my favourite wonky eyed South East Asian.

    I thought Romesh made an astute observation. Millwall a club that is not racist but one where racism amongst the supporters is tolerated.

    He actually takes the mick of of himself more than anything, if you genuinely think what you posted then you clearly haven’t watched a lot of his stuff, also the comment “if it wasn’t for racism” is a joke mate as I’m sure everyone would prefer it not to exist in the first place.
    Sadly always has and always will - and it's not just confined to Western cultures.

    Seems like we’re in the minority.

    He has three angles... the stereotypical pushy Asian mum, a lazy eye and self deprecation.

    His shows are directed to within an inch of their life and completely dull.
