Govind Menon (Host)
Like most stand-up artists had a troubled childhood. Growing up on the mean streets of Mira Road, the only thing he had going for him was his curly hair. Having recently hit puberty, not much has changed except that instead of his diary. Popularly known as poor man's Kanan Gill, he is now realizing that most poor people do not know Kanan. So, he is making a serious effort to actually be funny. You are invited to see the progress for yourself.

Pavitra Shetty
Pavita Shetty is a talented bathroom singer and stand-up comedian who is also reportedly a girl. The biggest inspirations for her stand-up are her Mom, random aunts who keep visiting her place and her very own weighing scale. Already featured multiple times on television and radio, and she has an unnaturally high number of best friends who insisted that a new bio was written for her.
Masoom Rajwani
One the youngest and most promising stand-up acts on the scene, Masoom Rajwani is one of the few Sindhis who refuses to do Sindhi joke. His humour surpasses his young. An apologetic human, mainly because of his jokes, his unique views on Issues makes it difficult for him to go unnoticed. His humour will leave you in splits!
Mandar Bhide
Somewhat overweight, moderately funny and completely married, Mandar Bhide sells chocolates for a living. He is the closest thing to Santa Claus Maharashtra has to offer. But his wife bars him from wearing red. She lets him be on Tinder though as she thinks it's cute. Mandar is rumoured to have eaten an entire crate of chocolates to meet his sales target but it was actually just another Monday. He is not all soft though and can swear in four different Indian languages. This useful ability has been featured at all major comedy venues across Mumbai and Pune and may soon reduce his dependence on chocolates or Tinder...hopefully both.
Madhvendra Singh
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.

Ashish Shakya (Closing act)
In 2006, Ashish Shakya discarded his freshly-minted engineering degree and became a full-time comedy writer – a favour for which the science community is still grateful. Stand-up followed soon after because the instant approval of strangers was amazing and also pants are optional. As a member of AIB, India’s most well-known comedy collective, Ashish has been part of ambitious projects such as AIB Knockout - India’s first ever comedy roast featuring Bollywood A-listers like Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. He’s also co-helmed two seasons of On Air With AIB, an acclaimed news comedy show telecast on primetime TV and Hotstar. His weekly humour column in The Hindustan Times also earned a devoted following during its six-year run. As a stand-up comic with hundreds of shows under his belt, he has brought the house down in venues across India, Singapore, Dubai, Australia and the UK, and is currently seeking his next big stage thrill.
