Necessity is the mother of invention. And few cities in the world offer as much scope for invention as Mumbai does, thanks to its space crunch and the premium at which a square foot costs. College auditoria and school grounds doubling up as venues for social and cultural events is therefore not uncommon, and as long as the academic schedule is not hampered, it is only a win-win. Bandra's St Andrew's Auditorium (see facing story) is a popular venue for plays, music events and the occasional comedy gig, as is the Sathaye College hall in Vile Parle for theatre. The latest to join the list is the Rama and Sundri Watumull Auditorium, better known as the KC College Auditorium, since it is housed within the premises of the institute at Churchgate.

Barring a handful of gigs by East India Comedy years ago, the space has largely been rented out for annual general or shareholders' meetings and even condolence gatherings. It sprung to life with sounds of laughter in December 2018, when Chalta Hai Comedy (CHC) hosted its first gig here. Since then the independent stand-up events producer has had two more events at the college, the most recent one being Kunal Kamra's, which ran to a packed house.
