Royal Opera House will host actor, motivational speaker, vlogger and comedian Ashish Vidyarthi as he performs ‘Sit Down Ashish’ on May 25 this weekend. 


Building on the success of the grand opening in April with comedian Anuvab Pal, the standup gig is a part of their new comedy series in association with Avid Learning and The Entertainment Factory.



'Sit Down Ashish' is Ashish Vidyarthi’s first ever 50+ stand-up comedy special. It is a tongue-in-cheek take on his life, from Delhi to the ‘City of Dreams’ - Mumbai, a journey which over the last 30 years has taken him across the country, doing more than 300 films across 11 languages. This show celebrates his victories and
collapses with equal candor. In a world where we take life too seriously, he loves to live the way he does, with his weight, gait, and burps...and when people say, "Sit Down Ashish," he says that's a great idea, and takes it on as the title of the show. Comedy enthusiasts will be treated to an evening of anecdotes from films, life, and dreams to a place with no age bar. 


The Royal Opera House Comedy Series kicked off last month with a bang, featuring the critically acclaimed Anuvab Pal with his hilarious show ‘The Nation Wants to Know.’ This series is a monthly showcase of India's top comedic talent and leading stand-up artists. Starting with English, the humour extravaganza aims to diversify by presenting performances in regional languages, adding a multilingual flavour to the comedy scene.

Being India’s only surviving opera house, they recognise the importance of leveraging the stage to showcase the talents and skills of performing artists from all over while also exposing the audiences to multidisciplinary cross-genre fusions and collaborations.

Interestingly, The Royal Opera House Mumbai is not new to the world of stand-up comedy. In the past, the popular Mumbai entertainment venue has hosted some of India's comedy heavyweights including Rohan Joshi, Kenny Sebastian, Aditi Mittal, Kanan Gill and Amit Tandon, just to name a few. They have also had a Marathi Standup with BhaDiPa opening their doors to regional comic audiences

When: Saturday, May 25 at 7:30 pm
