Live and hilarious

IF you, like this writer, have binge-watched every episode of Son of Abish, a celebrity talk show hosted by comedian Abish Mathew, this event might be of interest to you. Fresh off the show's ninth season, Mathew will be bringing his unparalleled wit and humour to a Khar venue where he will perform a new comedy set. A trial variety comedy show, it will feature a mix of all the elements that went into making Son of Abish - stand-up, sketches, showcase acts and some interesting music. The only difference is - the audience will feature as the show's celebrity guests.

On June 23; 6 pm
At The Habitat, 1st Floor, Hotel Unicontinental, 3rd road, next to the station Khar West.
