Comedians born in Thiruvananthapuram

Thiruvananthapuram, formerly known as Trivandrum, is the capital of the southern Indian state of Kerala. A coastal city on the Arabian Sea, it is known for its beaches, the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, and a growing technology sector, blending colonial-era architecture with a green, hilly setting.

It is the birthplace of stand-up comedian Suraj Venjaramoodu, and its theatres and campuses have begun welcoming touring stand-up performers as India's comedy scene spreads south.
