Artist

Azeem Banatwalla is one of India's top comedians, as rated by CNN-IBN, Huffington Post, and other less credible sources. His bio used to be funnier, but then he went and achieved things and didn't need the fluff. Known for his sharp writing and acerbic wit, Azeem’s comedy is distinctive and intelligent. He has two stand-up specials to his name: Out of My System and Cometh the Hour, the latter of which is on Amazon Prime Video. He's performed across India, Asia and Europe, and most recently represented India at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2018. As a member of East India Company, he has written and performed dozens of sketches and live shows. He is the creative director and head writer of EIC's critically acclaimed news comedy show EIC Outrage.

Performing since the age of 7, comedian, musician and actor Aadar Malik was born to rule the stage - best manifested with his 2016 Amazon Prime Video special, Standup The Musical, a unique comedy show which included a guitar and piano. A trained actor with over 10 years of experience in Indian theatre, Aadar lives to perform for audiences across the world. He was also trained in music at the prestigious Trinity College in London, and his composition ‘Goat Song’ was shortlisted at the Worldwide Comedy Short Film Festival, London and was a rage on social media. He is a member of SnG Comedy, a popular comedy collective that has amassed 470K subscribers and 61 million views. Their content consists of sketches, stand-up, and a candid interview-cum-chat series, The Big Question, which has featured several popular guests. They also focus on Improv comedy and have done several shows around the country.

Born intelligent, Angad Singh Ranyal figured out the key to a successful life and career early on in life. Get the most coveted qualification possible (he has an Engineering degree, along with an MBA), and then go on to make jokes about it for the rest of your life. Angad has been hailed as one of the most promising comedians in the Indian comedy scene, having performed more than 500 shows and at 150 corporates across 17 cities in India. His comedy has also taken him to international cities like Singapore and Malaysia. A member of the popular comedy collective East India Comedy, the comic is regularly featured in shows like EIC Outrage and also writes for specials like Comedy News Network.

Driven to the point of having a mid-life crisis by his investment-banking job, Vikram Poddar started doing stand-up comedy (instead of therapy) to remedy himself. Audiences across the country received his show The Bored Room Comedy with rave reviews (and were seen chuckling long after the show was done). The comedian also conducts team-building workshops using humor, clowning and YouTube videos of cats, teaching how to tolerate the corporate life better. People ask him, “Why the switch from Investment Banking to Comedy?” He usually tells them, “The way investors laughed at my valuations, it was a logical career choice”. An MBA by qualification, Vikram thrives on making fun of the corporate life, desk jobs, HR, Linkedin and his lazy eye (very logical connection) and is often called the corporate comedian.

Vaibhav is amongst the most eclectic stand up comedians one can watch. His Amazon Prime Special ‘DONT’ stands out for its idiosyncrasies and relatability at the same time. While his next special ‘This One Time’ showcased his extraordinary abilities of anecdotal comedy, his new shows exhibit distinct new styles and topics. An IIT graduate, Architect turned comedian, Vaibhav has entertained audiences in almost every city within the country. His YouTube videos, garnering millions of views, highlight his acute observational skills sprinkled with wit and immaculate expressions. Much of what Vaibhav talks about, are funny renderings of what we all go through every day, and some others are the escapades of his thoughts about how our world works or rather should work. His “clean” jokes delivered in an impersonal manner often revive people into spurts of laughs even after the show.

A regular at comedy clubs around the country, writer and stand-up comedian Neville Shah has been performing on both international stages, and as well as in India. Known for his scathing point of view and his witty comic timing and repartee, Neville recently toured for and released his Amazon comedy special, What Are You Laughing At?. Prior to that, has done a nation-wide tour with his previous special, We Should All Kill Ourselves, a combination of self-deprecation, and blatant rhetoric on social change and societal double standards.He is also a member of SnG Comedy, a popular comedy collective that has amassed 470000 subscribers and 61 million views. Their content consists of sketches, stand-up, and a candid interview/chat series The Big Questionwhich has featured several popular guests. Recently, he was touring the country with his live show 'Going Downhill.'

Delhi’s Rohan 'Danger' Desai is a college dropout whose stand-up can be described as unique, surreal and what-the-f*ck-was-that? His alter-ago 'International Comedy Star Rohan Desai' has won the Melbourne Comedy Festival and performed twice down under to widespread acclaim. Delhi-based comedian Adhiraj Singh writes, directs, sketches and does stand-up comedy. He won the #ChaltaHaiComedy Open Mic – VI and in his sets, he covers the latest movie reviews, the art of small talk and content writing for the RSS, all issues of national importance.

Aravind Subramanian, famously known as SA, is an Indian standup comic based out of Chennai. With over 6M views on his YouTube video, ''Chapati Song'', SA and his humor grow with him - from talking about being the young man from Chennai to his attempts at being a fully grown adult on an everyday basis... and possibly failing at them. Never missing a beat with his wit and humor, SA has two Standup Specials on Amazon Prime Video, ''Madrasi Da (2017)'' and ''I Was Not Ready Da (2020)''. As an Indian standup comic today, he has come a long way from performing at dingy bars in Chennai, all the way to selling out auditoriums across the world.

The man behind the hit social avatar Struggling Actor Vicky Malhotra, Varun Thakur is the latest Internet sensation who has taken over platforms like Snapchat and Facebook with his acidic self-deprecatory humor, making fun of all the CCD-frequenting struggling actors based out of Lokhandwala, Mumbai. Co-founder of SnG Comedy, a popular comedy collective that has amassed 470000 subscribers and 61 million views, the comedian has been selling out shows and venues with his hour-long comedy special, Vicky This Side, Varun That Side. In case reality wasn’t enough for this comic, the show is also streaming on Amazon Prime. Varun has also anchored shows on MTV, MTV Indies, UTV Bindaas and HotStar, and has done corporate shows for Google, Mercedes, HDFC, Standard Chartered, Radio Mirchi and several others. In January 2018, he released a retro horror movie called Shaitaan Haveli on Amazon Video and also went on a USA tour. This October, Varun is going on tour around Australia with fellow comedian Kunal Kamra.
Madhvendra’s comedy is a comment on our contemporary society and its politics. He is known for his funny one-liners, witty opinions and his awesome charm. His forte is his brevity.
