If you're in need of a great belly laugh, you'll want
to clear your calendars this June. Aakash Gupta, the comedian rockstar from
India, is bringing his sidesplitting stand-up act to cities across Canada for a
rollicking tour.
With shows already locked in (and more being added),
the master satirist will be serving up his biting social commentary and sharp
observational humor for audiences from Montreal to Vancouver. It's a chance to
experience one of India's hottest comedy exports in intimate venue settings.
From
Struggling Art Student to Comedy Royalty
Aakash's journey to becoming one of Hindi comedy's
most celebrated names is a tale of passion, perseverance, and loads of
punchlines. The Delhi native emerged from humble beginnings as an art student
to nurture a deep love for storytelling and improv in college.
After being exposed to the thriving stand-up scene
during an internship in Mumbai, Aakash quit his job as an RJ to fully embrace
the mic. It wasn't long before his candid, witty perspective and versatile
vocal talents propelled him to open for huge acts like Russell Peters.
The
Satirist with a Surgical Wit
What sets Aakash apart in India's flourishing comic
lineup? It's his masterful ability to blend ironic, tongue-in-cheek
observations with razor-sharp social satire. From skewering political scandals
to poking fun at modern romance, no topic is off-limits when digested through
Aakash's astute lense.
One moment he'll have you cracking up over the
struggles of relationships in a relatable AF bit. The next, he's deftly
dismantling toxic masculinity or societal hypocrisy with impassioned
commentary—all while keeping the laughs rolling.
His shows fuse the art of great storytelling with
unpredictable improvised riffs, fueled by his animated stage presence. Aakash's
elastic facial expressions and energetic physicality bring every high-octane
comedic beat vividly to life.
What to
Expect on the Canada Tour
On this run of shows, Aakash will be serving up a
fresh batch of all-new material...in addition to sprinkling in some
fan-favorite classics that showcase his chameleonic range.
His Montreal gig on June 23rd at the Symposia Theatre
marks one of the first tour stops solidified so far. If the sold-out venues and
overwhelming demand from his 2022 stint are any indication, shows in cities
like Toronto and Vancouver will be added shortly.
