Headliner biography
The New York Times calls Anuvab Pal ‘India’s most intelligent comedian.’ The BBC calls him India’s answer to British wit. Anuvab’s stand-up comedy special Empire, a comedy show based on the history of the British Empire in India, has played in 12 cities worldwide and been called “Spectacular” by CNN and “A laugh riot with brilliant ideas” by NDTV.
Empire can now be seen as a comedy special on Amazon Prime UK, part of Soho Theatre Live Series 3. Anuvab is the only Indian stand-up comedian after Russel Peters to sell out The Gotham Comedy Club in New York in record time.
Anuvab is also a prolific writer and was the screenwriter of the Bollywood films Loins Of Punjab Presents & The President Is Coming, both of which screened at leading film festivals around the world. As well as the author of 4 hit stage plays: 1 888 Dial India, The Bureaucrat, and Chaos Theory, which have become bestselling novels published by Random House and Picador respectively, and The President Is Coming, which was developed by the Royal Court Theatre in London.
