Comedians born in Kanchipuram

One of the seven sacred cities of Hinduism, Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu is renowned as the 'City of a Thousand Temples', its skyline crowded with ancient towering gopurams. Once a capital of the Pallava dynasty, it has been a centre of religion, learning and craftsmanship for well over a millennium. It is equally famous for its lustrous handwoven Kanchipuram silk sarees. As India's live comedy circuit grows, touring stand-up increasingly reaches Tamil Nadu's temple towns.
