Comedians born in Patiala

A former princely capital in the plains of Punjab, Patiala is celebrated for its distinctive royal heritage and a style all its own. The city gave its name to the loose Patiala salwar, the towering Patiala turban and the generous Patiala peg of whisky. Its grand Qila Mubarak fort and old palaces recall the wealth of its erstwhile rulers. As India's live comedy circuit grows beyond the metros, touring stand-up increasingly reaches cities like Patiala.
