Comedians born in Bareilly

A major city in the Rohilkhand region of western Uttar Pradesh, Bareilly sits on the Ramganga plains between the Ganges and the Himalayan foothills. Historically a centre of the Rohilla Afghans, it is known for its furniture, textiles and manufacturing, and enjoys a place in popular culture through a well-loved Bollywood song set in its bazaars. As India's stand-up comedy scene continues to grow beyond the metros, touring performers increasingly reach cities such as Bareilly.
