About the Event
In this first-of-its-kind festival, SPOKEN celebrates the magic of words, giving stage to some of the most vibrant voices in live storytelling, poetry, spoken word and song from across India and around the globe this October 28th & 29th 2017 at Mumbai’s JioGarden.
Over the course of two days, SPOKEN shines a spotlight on more than 50 artists ~ serving up an eclectic mix of exciting performance art and artists in languages as varied as Urdu, English, Hindi and Kannada.
Gates open in the afternoon to crooning buskers in up-close-and-personal performances. Or if you’d like to discover your own voice, take advantage of rare opportunities to learn from world renowned masters in live and theatrical storytelling. Don’t miss Shakespearian shenanigans if theatre’s your thing and of course we’ll be featuring some of the most potent poets and scintillating storytellers.
Loads of good food and drink will be served and designed spaces will offer meeting spaces to mix and mingle with your friends or a respite to marinate and unwind.
As sun sets on the city of dreams, our headlining artists will take to the main stage. Get ready to be entertained, enthralled and inspired. Bring a blanket and grab your spot on the main lawn early! You’re in for an experience like no other.

Artist
One of the most instantly identifiable comedians in the country, Tanmay is the co-founder of edgy comedy collective AIB. He has written, directed and acted in several of their best comedy videos and projects, such as AIB Knockout (India’s first ever comedy roast), AIB Diwas (a full-day open-air comedy show), On Air with AIB (the satirical news show telecast on primetime television and Hotstar), and AIB Presents Royal Turds (a Bollywood-themed spoof award show). He has performed all over India, Dubai, The Comedy Store in London, the world’s largest arts festival (Edinburgh Fringe) in Scotland and Singapore.He’s also written for the Filmfare Awards, and moonlights as a humour columnist with Firstpost and Time Out Mumbai. His television credits include India’s first English sketch comedy special Ripping The Decade on Star World. Excitingly, for fans, he has recently got back on the stand-up stage and is trying out new material, building towards a special in 2018.
Zakir Khan is one of the the brightest comedians in the country, as proven by the massive success of his recent Haq Se Single tour, and the Amazon Prime special of the same name. Zakir created waves in 2016 with his appearance on AIB Diwas, as he swiftly went on to become what AIB founder Tanmay Bhat described as “The biggest stand-up comedy act in India. Period”. A writer by profession, this 'Confused Desi' serves his take on modern India, with a hard-to-resist style of humour that'll have you nodding your heads and clapping as you relate to everything he says. His work includes comedy specials like Kaksha Gyarvi; an acclaimed Amazon Prime series, Chacha Vidhayak Hai Hamare and a podcast, ‘Umeed’. Zakir is indeed a unique act, and it's easy to see why.
