Twenty-one-year-old Samay Raina was born in Jammu but grew up in Hyderabad where his family shifted when he was a young boy. He discovered comedy when he shifted to Pune to enrol for a course in printing engineering. Raina competed at an open mic in Pune in August 2017, whose winner was assured a slot at the Pune Comedy Festival that year. He placed second, out of around 100 contestants, and so didn’t make it to the festival.
But he was hooked to comedy, and became a regular on the Pune scene, while also doing slots regularly in Mumbai. Raina was quickly recognised as one of the brightest new talents on the scene. By the next edition of the Pune Comedy Festival, he had made enough of a name for himself that he was picked to perform 8 minutes at a 6 pm slot, before a crowd of around 3,000—a moment he considers a highlight of his fledgeling career.
