Desi Comedy Fest, one of North America’s leading South Asian comedy showcases, is bringing its first-ever East Coast Edition to Boston in 2026. Since 2014 the festival has featured more than 200 comedians from around the world, including artists seen on Netflix, HBO, Amazon, and Comedy Central. We’re kicking things off on Thursday, March 19, with a special night at The Comedy Studio. It’s an intimate room, a sharp crowd, and the perfect place to catch the next wave of South Asian comedians before they break out. If you’ve been looking for a smart, global, high-energy night of stand up in Boston, this is the one.
Lineup: Abhay Nadkarni, Samson Koletkar, Shavani Dave, Neel Goosh, Awais Hussein, Shyam Subramanian (Subject to Change)
