Comedians born in Pala

Pala is a town in the Kottayam district of Kerala, set on the banks of the Meenachil River amid the lush, rubber-growing hills of the state's central highlands. Long a centre of the region's Syrian Christian community, it is known for its churches, its strong educational institutions and its role in Kerala's plantation economy. Green and quietly prosperous, it has an unhurried character. As Indian stand-up spreads across Kerala, touring comedy increasingly reaches towns like Pala.
