Comedians born in Asansol

Asansol is a major industrial city in West Bengal, set on the Damodar River in the heart of one of India's oldest coal-mining and steel-producing regions. Long powered by the surrounding Raniganj coalfields, it grew into one of the state's largest urban centres and a busy railway junction. Its working population reflects the industrial backbone of eastern India. As the country's stand-up comedy scene spreads beyond the metros, touring acts increasingly reach cities like Asansol.
