Comedians born in Bengaluru

The capital of Karnataka and India's foremost technology hub, Bengaluru is often called the country's 'Silicon Valley'. Once celebrated as the 'Garden City' for its parks and pleasant climate, it has grown into a sprawling, cosmopolitan metropolis of start-ups, universities and young professionals. That youthful, tech-savvy energy has made it one of the great centres of India's booming English-language stand-up comedy scene, where clubs and cultural venues regularly host both homegrown and touring comedians.
