The Big Comedy Kiss with Anuvab Pal

Our much-loved comedy night is back — and this time, we’re turning up the spotlight!
We’ve gone all out to make this our most exciting edition yet, featuring one incredible international star alongside some of the finest local comedians in Switzerland.

Anuvab Pal – Described by The New York Times as “India’s most intelligent comedian” and by the BBC as “India’s answer to British wit,” Anuvab Pal is one of the most globally recognised English-speaking comics to come out of India. His stand-up special The Nation Wants To Know has played over 500 sold-out shows from Mumbai to Sydney to San Francisco, while his hit show Empire — a comedy about the history of the British Empire in India — has toured internationally across 12 cities and is now available as a special on Amazon Prime UK as part of Soho Theatre Live.

Beyond stand-up, Anuvab is a prolific writer and creator. He has written Bollywood films Loins of Punjab Presents and The President Is Coming, the latter developed by London’s Royal Court Theatre. His play Chaos Theory became a bestselling novel, and he has created multiple sitcoms for Amazon Prime Video India. His work has been featured internationally in Time Magazine, CNN, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Financial Times and The New Yorker, among many others.

On screen and radio, his credits include QI (BBC2), Big Asian Stand-Up (BBC2), The News Quiz (BBC Radio 4), The New Year’s Eve International Show (BBC World Service) and Al Murray: Why Does Everyone Hate The British Empire (Sky History). He is also a regular contributor to the global satirical podcast The Bugle and writes a monthly column for The Economic Times.
