Azeem Banatwalla is the proverbial jack of all trades, and master of puns. An engineer-turned-writer-turned comedian, he was a senior features writer National Geographic Traveller India before switching over to a life of comedy. He is a regular at Mumbai’s Canvas Laugh Factory (previously The Comedy Store) having done more than 80 shows at the venue over the last two years as well as dozens of shows at pubs and clubs in Pune, Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkata, and Kochi. Azeem is a member of Sorabh Pant's East India Comedy, Indian's busiest comedy company, and a core member of the acclaimed comedy specials Comedy News Network and BackBenchers.
In his first 45 minute special, Azeem uses quirky, observational humour and semi-sharpened wit to give his views on topics encompassing sports, Bollywood, religion, politics, and travel, in addition to personal anecdotes that have taught him that life is a lot more tolerable if you take everything with a pinch of salt.
