James Acaster and Nish Kumar DJ at Glastonbury

Stepping away from their usual comedy gigs, in the early hours of Sunday morning, comedians James Acaster and Nish Kumar teamed up to perform a back-to-back DJ set.

The duo performed from 00:15 to 2am to a crowded tent at the Cabaret stage of the venue.

This isn’t the first time the duo has DJ’d together – and likely won’t be the last given the enthusiastic reaction from fans who caught their set at the festival.
