Vasu Primlani

Vasu Primlani’s pioneering stand‐up comedy is based on a scintillating look at life through the environment, based on her work in the United States, very strong social commentary, inter personal relationships, seeing India through new eyes (including how George Bush is like her mother), gender politics, men vs. women, climate change, environmental messaging, politics in a social context, a literary look at comedy, and experiences of an immigrant bumping into the culture and the laws of the United States. She is a keen observer of life around her, is often baffled by meaningless events and things. She constantly questions the notion of ‘normal’, and challenges the male-dominated and heterosexist mindset of society. She is best known for her physical humor and deadpan expressions.

Daniel Fernandes

Daniel said goodbye to a career in advertising to do comedy full-time because let’s face it, this is more fun. No really, it is. He is a regular at comedy venues across the country and loves cats, dogs and snakes (we’re not kidding). Some of his material is said to be funny while the rest is just used to kill time on stage. He is petrified of the front row and rarely picks on people on Mondays. As far as the list of ‘Top 5 Comedians in India to watch out for’ is concerned, he’s not on it, mostly because that list does not exist! You should stop reading this and buy a ticket now!

Sorabh Pant

Sorabh Pant is “one of India’s top comedians” according to The Times Of India, Hindustan Times, Mid-Day and himself. He’s done over 350 shows in 30 cities across 7 countries including tours with Rob Schneider and Wayne Brady. Though, he’s done them only for the frequent flier miles. His comedy special, “Traveling Pants”, plays monthly and exclusively at Canvas Laugh Factory – so, come watch it and travel across the world, India and his pants! He’s also the founder of India’s busiest comedy company, The East India Comedy that, “Imports Indian comedy from India to Indians”.

Ashish Shakya

With more than a 100 stage appearances under his belt, Ashish is also one of India’s finest young stand-up comedians. Following a series of open mics and pub gigs, Ashish earned himself a recurring spot at the prestigious Canvas Laugh Factory, Mumbai, and was one of the first Indians to get picked for their roster.

Atul Khatri

Atul Khatri is a 40+ guy, we’re talking about his age not IQ. A Mumbai based businessman who got up late in life and decided to do English Standup comedy so that he could tick it off his own personal bucket list. An Indian Computer Engineer and a British Mgmt. scholar who always orders soup one by two even when he is eating alone. He is from a decent double income two kids and strictly no sex family. In his spare time he loves to dig his nose for gold hoping that one day a diamond solitaire will emerge which he can eventually gift it to his wife. He was one of the 3 finalists in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival contest which was held in Delhi recently .
