Malhar Laugh Club

Where giggles and guffaws take centre stage.

Welcome to MLC - Malhar Laugh Club

Malhar Laugh Club was an idea that came about when two guys were having chai at Malhar’s Adda. One was a seasoned performer who had done numerous open mics in Delhi and the other dreamed of doing a lot of shows (did none till then).

Multiple conversations over chai led to our first show on the 6th of Aug 2022. Needless to say, the success of that show made the team believe Malhar does have a sense of humor and that there should be more.

The club right now has two distinct offerings. A comedy night where popular comics are invited to perform at Courtyard Koota and an open mic for the residents to try their luck with comedy, music, and poetry.

Following are some of the successful shows so far
