Comedian Jeeveshu Ahluwalia
Jeeveshu Ahluwalia is one of Delhi's rising comedians. He left his well-earning job for the love of humour. His comedy style takes the form of observational and rambling whimsical monologue and self-referential pantomime. He is currently a regular at comedy venues across the country. Ahluwalia is going to perform in a comedy caper along with Daniel Fernandes and Aditi Mittal in the city today. The funny guy talks seriously about his comedy and humour in the country, ahead of his performance in the city. Excerpts from an interview:

Q. How did you enter the comedy scene?
A. I used to have a proper job in a good firm for the last 16 years. Apart from that routine, my weekends were more happening. I used to spend them in pubs and bars with my friends where I used to perform for them. It was, of course, for free and just for fun. But lately I realised that the funny guy in me wanted something different. So, I quit my job last year in March and ventured into full time professional stand-up comedy in Delhi. I was an amateur in the field but the comedy circle in Delhi picked me up and since then, I have been doing shows across the country.
