Nishant Suri : Indian Independent Showcase

Comedy • Solo show
India • Australian Premiere

Winner of Amazon Prime Video India’s comedy show Comicstaan, Nishant’s popularity on YouTube and Instagram are testimony to the growing love and admiration for his brand of ‘existential’ comedy.

Four years, many tours, a pandemic, a quarter-life crisis and a heartbreak later, he continues to take his perspective on everything from society to the human condition itself across the world.

Is life anything but suffering? Is happiness a trap? And do we really need to save the planet for future generations to witness this vicious cycle?

Watch him go berserk with his speculative theories, anecdotes and observations
You may call it silly, bizarre or genius. Depends on how you’re looking at it, says Nishant. All he asks is for you to come see the world through his eyes and decide for yourselves.
