The Maharaja's of Comedy
Hosted by Comedian Kunal Nayyar from the show "Big Bang Theory", hundreds flocked to Mason Hall in New York City for the launch of “The Maharaja's of Comedy” show. The 'stand-up' comedy show, which featured the performances of some of the world's top comedians of South Asian origin, was a huge success with three performances on February 15th & 16th, 2013. The show was filmed in front of live audience and is set to air on a major television network this spring.
Besides the famous star host, the other comedians included Dan Nainan who has recently performed for President Obama, Anish Shah headliner for the sold-out "No Laughing Matter comedy tour" in 2012, Kabir "Kabeezy" Singh, who has shared the stage with some of the biggest comedians including Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, Bill Burr, and Russell Peters, Mark Saldana, named "The best Indian...if not Asian comic in the country." by The Los Angeles Times, and Paul Singh, one of the only comedians who can perform in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.
A worldwide tour will begin throughout North America and overseas showcasing an Indian perspective in America from many hilarious viewpoints. This will be an excellent chance for the comedians to showcase their talent in front of a large live audience and provide exposure to a very wide international theatrical and home audience. Papa CJ will be joining the tour at its next date.
