COMEDY ZONE ASIA COMICS :

Sonali Thakker (India)
Sonali Thakker is a Mumbai-based comedian who has been writing, performing and convincing audiences (read: her parents) that she's a stand-up comic for over six years. With an observational style peppered with self-deprecation, Sonali delights audiences at comedy clubs and festivals around India. She recently finished touring her debut show Almost There across India to widespread acclaim, proving to her family that leaving chartered accounting behind was the right choice.

Rahul Subramanian Is This Even Comedy? (IN)

After a stellar 2018 debut in the Indian All-Star Comedy Showcase and his solo hour Kal Main Udega, Indian comedy superstar Rahul Subramanian returns for two weeks only! Oscillating between anecdotal and observational comedy with absurdity a common thread, Rahul is a master of jokes that offer no opinion whatsoever. This ensures he’s at a safe distance from any kind of trouble and can happily go back to living his life after comedy. Or so he thought…

Since turning his back on an MBA to take up comedy as a New Year’s resolution, Mumbai-bred Tamilian Rahul has won favour with critics and audiences alike. He’s goofy yet understated, with clever writing underpinning his silly takes on everyday observations. Rahul is one half of the award-winning online sketch duo Random Chikibum.
