Comedy Central UK has commissioned a second series of comedic factual series Joel and Nish vs the World following the success of the first series starring Joel Dommett and Nish Kumar, which was acquired from BBC Worldwide.

The six-part second series, produced by Rumpus Media, will see the ‘brains and brawn’ comedy duo continue their adventure of a lifetime as they travel the globe to test the power of their prowess against some of the harshest lifestyles around the world, finding new ways to embarrass themselves on an international scale.

The first series proved a programming hit for the channel, up a massive 43% on the 52 week slot average and peaking with an audience of 111k 1634s.

Building on the first series, where Joel faced some of the strongest, fittest and toughest people in the world with Nish providing hilarious commentary, this time around Nish will be getting more involved in the action and taking on the challenges with Joel to find out which one of them really is the toughest.

Louise Holmes, Vice President, General Manager of Comedy Central UK commented: “We can’t wait to get Joel and Nish’s next series of adventures and madcap mishaps on Comedy Central. This time round, we’re pushing them even further out of their comfortable metro lifestyles into the wildest, most challenging places the crew can find – our audience should prepare for a whole lot more laughter as we test their friendship -  and sense of humour – to the limits.”

Emily Hudd, Joint Managing Director, Rumpus Media said: “We’re so excited that Joel and Nish aren’t done with taking on the world yet despite them knowing the odds are probably against them. We can’t wait to pit them both against some more of the world’s toughest communities in Series 2.”
