The Comedy Dhamaka on 22nd August
Remember Pretentious Movie Reviews? The YouTube Parody series we all loved for taking funny digs at the Bollywood Cinema. Biswa Kalyan Rath of Pretentious Movie Review fame has since then globetrotted with his whacky sense of humor bringing live standup comedy to his fans. He has his own Amazon Prime Comedy Special too! Biswa is here this weekend tickling our funny bones and us sure as hell are excited to laugh out loud with him.
And, guess who is joining him this weekend in Abu Dhabi?! Amit Tandon gives a comic touch to your average daily life observations and delivers it with a middle-aged man’s musings. With a Netflix solo, he has also scripted his mark in the comedy circuit.
You can enjoy both of them together in Abu Dhabi on 22nd August, Thursday. Book Tickets here.
