New Scot blends politics and patter in bold comedy fundraiser
He brought a revamped version of his hit Glasgow Comedy Festival show, Chips, Cheese and Curry, to Blackfriars on Thursday, performing a special charity gig in support of a family in Gaza. After calling himself 'Romesh Ranganathan from Temu' within the first five minutes of the set and comparing his hometown of Sirohi, India to Aberdeen, – both places where 'all you think about is leaving' – one would be forgiven if they assumed he was not proud of his roots. READ MORE: From Lewis Capaldi to a long-awaited apology – plenty to be positive about in June However, Rathore delivered a 50 minute gig that served as not just a charity fundraiser or a run of the mill comedy set, but a nuanced exploration of leaving home and finding it in a place that doesn't often know what to do with you. Since coming to Scotland, the comic has had a number of experiences – some good, some bad and some side-splittingly wild (looking at you, Falkirk dating scene). After being offered 'halal' class A drugs in a Dundee pub toilet, Rathore came to the astute conclusion that our wee island nation is 'racist but welcoming'. He explored the ramifications of the East India Company and the UK's troubled history of colonialism with slick observational humour and a fairly accurate impression of the beloved naturalist David Attenborough. A few of the technical issues he faced would have left any novice comic flailing on stage, but Rathore handled it with style, incorporating the hitches into the set and improvising with crowd work until problems with sound were resolved.

Despite English being his fourth language, he shows an innate and witty understanding not just of Scottish culture but of the core pillar of our society too: our patter. From accidentally joining an Orange Walk to the bizarre parties our funerals often turn into, Chips, Cheese and Curry acts as a sneaky love letter to his hometown and the things that inadvertently tie it to Glasgow. Rathore has once again proven himself as one to watch on the Glasgow comedy scene. He will make his Edinburgh Fringe debut later this summer, performing at The Snug from July 31 – August 4. Verdict – four stars.

New Scot to host charity comedy gig for Palestinian family
Hitesh Rathore, originally from Sirohi, India, moved to the city two years ago and has put on a slate of sold-out gigs since beginning his comedy career, as well as garnering recognition from press. Now, Rathore is using his platform to raise money for a family of nine in Gaza by performing his show Chips, Cheese and Curry in Blackfriars of Bell Street on July 3. READ MORE: Paolo Nutini and Ncuti Gatwa join calls for Labour to suspend Israel arms sales In a social media post, he said: 'I have done many things I never dreamt of, and some things I didn't even know could be dreamt. "But here we are, doing a solo show for charity. [The] last one was so freaking beautiful – this one will be better. "Please come and support my dream, this time for charity." Proceeds from the gig will be donated to an emergency fundraiser for Abdul Rahman Al-Mughanni and his family. The six children, alongside their parents and grandmother, were forced to flee from their home in the east of Gaza due to Israeli strikes in the region. They initially sought shelter in an abandoned house with a tin roof in Khan Younis before it was bombed by the IDF. After fleeing to Rafah, the family initially planned to escape Gaza. However, with the Rafah crossing now blocked, the aim of the fundraiser has changed to rebuilding their family home in Shejaiya, which was also destroyed in an Israeli strike. Chips, Cheese and Curry previously sold out twice as a work-in-progress show during the Glasgow International Comedy Festival. READ MORE: The facts are clear. So why won't the BBC report on Israel's nuclear weapons? Rathore described the show, saying: 'This isn't just 'haha-I'm-an-immigrant' comedy. It's about finding a home in a place that sometimes doesn't know what to do with you.' The comic, who made it to the semi-finals of Ricky Gervais's Spirit of Comedy Award, previously told The Herald about why he moved to Glasgow, noting that it was a decision made on a whim after hearing a Nina Nesbitt song. 'It was in lockdown, I was watching this TV show called Elementary. It had this song in it, Feather on the Clyde,' he said. 'I had no idea where the Clyde was or what Glasgow was, but I decided I was going to move there.' Rathore was also labelled as 'one to watch' by The Stand Comedy Club. The show is 18+ and tickets are available here.

If Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang ran a food truck: What would he serve other than chips?
Imagine this: Jensen Huang, the leather-jacket-wearing CEO of Nvidia and the man who basically turbocharged the AI boom, decides to take a little detour from chips and GPUs… and opens a food truck. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But not your average street-side taco van—oh no. This would be a full-blown geeky gourmet experience, where tech meets taste in the quirkiest way possible. So, what would Jensen serve? Let's take a hungry stroll through his (totally imaginary but totally awesome) menu. The Byte Burger This burger doesn't just hit your taste buds—it anticipates your hunger before the first bite. Lab-grown meat makes it eco-friendly, and the bun? It changes color based on your mood, thanks to tiny sensors. Want fries with that? Go for the 'Quantum Chips'—crispy little things that somehow know what your next craving will be. GPU Skewers (Grilled Protein Units) Think skewers, but smarter. Each one's been marinated in an AI-crafted spice mix that hits the sweet spot between flavor and fire. Grilled using heat maps that monitor the skewer in real time (because of course they do), these come with 'Cache Sauce' in reusable containers—bring it back next time for a discount. Save the planet, get saucy. Neural Network Nachos Nachos that learn your taste. Seriously. Start eating, and the dish adapts to what you like—more cheese, less spice, maybe a meat swap. Every layer of cheese, beans, and toppings evolves. Topped with 'Deep Learning Salsa,' which gets better (and spicier) over time. Moore's Law Milkshakes Named after the tech law that basically explains why your phone gets better every year, these shakes double in thickness every two years. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now You've got classics like Vanilla 2.0, Chocolate 4.0, and yes, Strawberry Quantum. Each comes with a smart straw that adjusts based on how thick the shake is. Because sucking on a blocked straw is so last decade. The Silicon Sundae Tech nerds meet sweet tooths right here. This sundae features layers of plant-based ice cream, crunchy 'Silicon Chips,' and a scoop of 'Cloud Cream' that literally melts like a dream. Think futuristic dessert meets retro joy. Biryani 4090 A loving shoutout to Jensen's favorite dish, but of course, it's cooked using an RTX 4090-powered rice cooker. Yep, that's a thing—at least in this world. Every grain speaks of perfection. Served warm in a thermally balanced container and comes with 'Latency Raita'—a side dip that cools your palate just right, without delay. Egg Coffee 2.0 If you know, you know—Jensen's been a longtime fan of Hanoi-style egg coffee. This version? AI-enhanced. It figures out how sweet you like your cup and tweaks it accordingly. Served in a mug that changes its design depending on the time of day. Morning? Mountains. Evening? Glitch art. Quantum Quesadilla This one's basically Schrödinger's lunch—it exists in multiple states until you bite it. The filling? Determined by a quantum algorithm. So you never get the same combo twice, but it's always ridiculously good. Dip it in some 'Entanglement Salsa' for a taste explosion. Denny's Diner Delight A nostalgic throwback to Jensen's early days hustling in America. Classic diner breakfast—but smarter. Pancakes that self-adjust their fluffiness based on your altitude (ever had a Denver pancake? Now you will). Eggs cooked with algorithmic precision, plus 'Legacy Syrup' that hits with old-school sweetness. The Startup Special Just like a real startup, this dish pivots daily. One day it's a sushi burrito, the next it's a spaghetti taco. You never know what you're gonna get, but you'll always get a crunchy side of 'Pivot Pickles.' It's chaotic. It's delicious. It's disruptive. If Jensen Huang ever actually launched a food truck, it wouldn't just feed your belly—it would fry your brain (in a good way). Smart food, adaptive menus, flavor calibrated by data… it'd be part tech experiment, part art installation, and part comfort food heaven. So next time you're wandering a street fair and spot a sleek black truck with green neon accents and a leather-clad man at the window, don't be surprised. Order the Byte Burger, sip a Quantum Shake, and know you've just been fed by one of the smartest chefs in Silicon Valley—GPU-style.
