Events in Mumbai - The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare ( Abridged ) on 1 & 2 February 2014 at Canvas Laugh Factory, Palladium Mall, Lower Parel. 6.pm

This is a parody of the plays written by Shakespeare with all of them being performed in shortened form by only three actors. The actors use their real names and play themselves. The fourth wall is nonexistent with some scenes involving audience participation. The director and stage crew may also get involved in the performance and become characters themselves. It is notable for holding the (self-proclaimed) world record for the shortest-ever performance of Hamlet, clocking in at 43 seconds, as well as the fastest performance of Hamlet backwards at 42 seconds.

Brij Bhakta

Brij Bhakta is weird. He is also an actor, writer, director, and captain of industry (Industry is the name of his boat), He was born in Gujarat, raised in America, and now back in India. A veteran of comedy for the past 15 years. He has trained, toured, and performed with the famed Improv Olympic and The Second City theatres in Chicago respectively (look them up). You may or may not have seen him (your loss if not) on Fox Traveller/National Geographic’s travel show “The Freaky Traveller”, he was the freaky traveller to clarify. Currently residing in Mumbai, his favorite stereotype is Sony. When you see him perform, he wants you to know he loves you, he’s just not IN love with you.

Aadar Malik

AADAR MALIK is an actor performing major theatre productions all over the country. He is now part of the comedy ensemble SCHITZ-EN-GIGGLES, performing stand-up, improvised comedy and sketch shows in India and abroad. A trained musician and song writer, he prefers impressing women with his guitar.

Neville Shah

Neville Shah is a writer and one of India’s most popular comics. A regular at Canvas Laugh Factory, he has performed both in India and abroad. He is half Parsi and Half Gujarati, making him very confused and very angry. Often deprecating, Neville has a unique (read: strange) view on life. His insightful wit, conversational delivery and honest angst, make his humour relatable and sometimes oddly poignant. He also insists that he is his mother’s son.
