The platform encourages Marathi stand-up and gives a chance to upcoming comics who are keen on giving the art form a shot. The show will bring together the quick quips of Marathi humour along with the style and glamour of English stand-up, which will make it a fun experience for the audience.

Savani Vaze, who will be performing in the city for the first time post the pandemic, shares, “I am super excited to perform in Mumbai as it is my hometown. Being a Mumbaikar, the vibe and connection here is something very special to me.”
BhaDiPa, which was started by Sarang Sathaye, Anusha Nandakumar and Paula McGlynn, has now become a regular name across Marathi households. “Since the lockdown, a host of new voices have started online, and are now trying their luck on stage. However, this show features some of our OG Marathi stand-up comedians who helped carve out a space for the language on the stage back when we started in 2017, and BhaDiPa is excited to bring them out in all their unlocked glory! These seasoned comics are guaranteed to make you laugh,” assures McGlynn, CEO of BhaDiPa.
