ZAKIR KHAN

Zakir’s approach to comedy is anecdotal, personal and heartfelt, and his delivery poetic and rustic at the same time. His appeal lies in his relatability – he has often said he used humor as a shield when bullied as a child, and his stories are punctuated with phrases that have become catchphrases, including the iconic ‘Sakht Launda’. This has won him a massive following in a short span of time – including 830 Million+ views just on YouTube.

Today, he is celebrated not just as an Indian comedian but as a Global entertainer who has created history by becoming the First Asian comedianto have headlined and sold out  The Royal Albert Hall, London along with performing at Iconic globally renowned venues like the Sydney Opera House, Dubai Opera House, The Theatre at Madison Square Garden in NYC, amongst many others.

Despite all the numbers, ratings and awards, perhaps his greatest achievement will be how he ushered in a new type of comedy in India & continues to pave the way for Entertainers, while representing India to the world on some of the most prestigious stages.
