context_page_description: Hardeep Singh Kohli is a British presenter of Sikh heritage who has appeared on radio and television. In 2020, he was accused of sexually inappropriate behaviour towards multiple female and non-binary comedians, journalists and media figures.
context_section_description: At the Edinburgh Festival Fringe In August 2009 Kohli performed his debut one-man show, The Nearly Naked Chef, the first live curry cooking comedy show ever.
  This was followed by two years of "Chat Masala" where Kohli interviewed famous folk while cooking them a curry.
  "Indian Takeaway" was the 2012 show where Kohli phoned in a takeaway while cooking his own version letting the audience decide the winner.
  2013 he did a short run of new material which became "Hardeep is Your Love" in 2014. The following year was "Bigmouth Strikes Again". In 2016 his love of music was the inspiration for "Mixtape: My Life Through Music". "The show needed more joke content, structure and general fleshing out to be complete. Perhaps if he could get through more than just three songs, that might help," said BroadwayBaby.
  The 2017 show, "Alternative, Fact" is all about the world of politics.
