Comedians born in Amritsar

Amritsar is the spiritual heart of the Sikh faith, founded around the sacred pool that gives it its name. Its glittering Golden Temple, or Harmandir Sahib, draws pilgrims and visitors from around the world, while the nearby Jallianwala Bagh memorial recalls a tragic chapter of colonial history.

Famed for its food and hospitality, Amritsar increasingly features in India's growing live-comedy circuit as touring stand-up reaches Punjab's urban audiences, and the city is the birthplace of comedian Kapil Sharma.
