Established in 1987, The Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF) is the second largest stand-up festival in the world. As live comedy surpasses all other forms of performance arts in India, it was only natural that international collaborations would find a stronghold in the country.
Co-founder of the Cuckoo Club — which is hosting MICF's offshoot roadshow, where hundreds of local and international artistes travel across the world performing at different venues — Sudeip Nair, echoes this when he says, "As one of the earliest support systems for stand-up comedy in India, it is natural for us to support a diverse and wide range of languages and nationalities across the arts."
