January is quite a blah month, don’t you think? Like, all the fun and merriment is over by the 1st day of the month itself and by the 2nd all of us have to back to our mundane lives. But 2015 is going to be different! Why? Because Vir Das’ comedy collective Weirdass is bringing the Pajama Fest to three cities in India! So Mumbai, Pune and Delhi, mark your calendars for the Weirdass Pajama Fest because this is going to be a fun ride! Here are 10 reasons why you should be booking tickets right away!
1) It has the finest comedians of the country (and some from the rest of the world) under one roof.
And they’re all just waiting to make you laugh till you cry. Really, that’s all they want!
2) The Pajama Fest is in held in various pockets of the city for your convenience
So whether you live in Andheri, Lower Parel or Nariman Point, you can all get your laughs without having to travel the entire city!
3) Vir Das debuts his brand new show after History Of India
Vir Das brings you his brand new show (after the super-successful History Of India and Battle Of Da Sexes) and it’s all about lies and dishonesty. You as an audience has to decide whether Vir actually slept with Buffy the Vampire Slayer or discussed lesbians with the President. You know you can’t miss this!
4) Britain’s best Improv group make their Indian debut
All the way from Edinburgh, the Showstoppers will arrive to make us Indians laugh! This bunch of popular improvisers has learned how to make up a fully-realised musical on-the-spot based on audience suggestions! Imagine watching these poor souls perform improvisation when a well-meaning Punjabi uncle asks them to do Tunak Tunak Tun!
5) The Weirdass Tandoor of Suhel Seth
You now know what a roast is. And you do know who Suhel Seth is, so I’m sure you also know how much fun this is going to be!
6) Vir Das and the American invasion
Pune has NH7, Doolally and now this. Sigh.
7) Comedy Death Race
Best comedians of the country get three minutes each to make the audience laugh; we have no choice but to die laughing. Who wouldn’t want a death like that?
8) Weirdass Salute Of Johhny Lever!
A tribute to Johnny Lever and you won’t be a part of it? What is wrong with you?!
9) Laughter is the best medicine
No one should miss a chance to laugh and the Pajama Fest guarantees laughter. Unstoppable laughter.
10) Enough of EDM already!
How many music festivals will you go to? Give laughter a chance, my friends!
Bookings for most of the shows are open now, for more details check out their official website! See you there!
