Vinay Sharma

Vinay Sharma is a standup comedian with a background in engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). Known for his wit and humor, Sharma jokes about topics that concern him the most, including shaadi.com, astrology, and hair loss. Despite his confident appearance, thanks in part to his new green sneakers with yellow laces, Sharma admits to being a fan of street food and a critic of Kachori.

With a heavily traditional background, standup comedy may be the only thing keeping Sharma from turning into the uncles he despises. However, it seems to be working for him. Sharma has been a consistent performer on the standup scene, and is considered one of the most promising artists in the country. He is regularly featured at top venues such as the Canvas Laugh Club and performs private shows for diverse audiences. Despite his father’s desire for him to pursue a PhD, Sharma has found success and fulfillment in standup comedy.
