- Comedy Producer: India, at Ed Fringe 2022
We reasserted our commitment to bring the best Indian comedy to the UK and the best UK and international comedy to India, appointing Sumit Naganath to the newly created role of Soho Theatre Comedy Producer: India, in partnership with G5A. This was another milestone, giving Soho a year-round presence there.
‘I was so excited visiting the Edinburgh Fringe for the first time. It was a brilliant way to immerse myself in the UK comedy scene. I came away with a great sense of who'd go down a storm with Mumbai audiences, and the comedians here in India who'd be popular at Soho Theatre and on tour across the UK.'
Urooj Ashfaq, one of India's most sought-after comics, writers and actors, won Best Newcomer at this year's Edinburgh Comedy Awards, the first India-based comic to win the award. Her award-winning show, Oh No! is at Soho Theatre this January followed by a UK tour. Last autumn we presented Vir Das at the Eventim Apollo which followed Zakir Khan at the Royal Albert Hal l - the first Indian comedian to perform there in Hindi. As we announce more exciting names in 2024, let's look at how we became London's leading producer of Indian comedy.
Vir Das has worked with Soho Theatre since 2016
Things really started ramping up from 2016 when we brought Bollywood actor and comedian Vir Das to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the first time.
