Stand-up comedy may still be struggling to make a dent in the Indian entertainment scene, but Gurgaon’s large appetite for tasteful humour is encouraging. Well-timed digs, witty quips, sarcasm or even just a few silly puns; the comedy scene is growing to accommodate it all.
Don’t believe us? Presenting Exhibit A—this handy guide to laughing your way through Gurgaon.
Thursday Nights at Manhattan Craft Brewery feature stand-up shows that are best enjoyed with a frosted glass of their freshly-brewed beer. These weekly Comedy Nights are sort of perfect to beat any mid-week blues, as three or four comics take the stage to tickle your funny bone and keep you going till you’re gasping for air.
Let’s be honest—that sounds great.
A Gurgaon-based theatre group, Behroopiya Entertainers has organised some stellar stand-up shows like Things They Wouldn’t Let Me Say by Aditi Mittal or the Improv Premier League. If theatre is more your speed, we recommend catching a show of their production of Run For Your Wife, one of the world’s longest running comedy acts.
They perform all over Delhi NCR, so follow them on Facebook to see when they’ll be at an auditorium near you. Hearty laughs and a good time guaranteed!
