If you were privy to Sahil Shah’s weekend itinerary, you’d mistake him for a party animal. Last Saturday, the comedian was in Goa’s Anjuna. On Sunday, he flew into Mumbai to catch pop star Akon’s multi-city tour. “I lost my friends in the crowd. Then I looked up and saw Akon crowd surfing inside a big floating ball. It all felt like a fever dream,” the 34-year-old pieces together the night over our call. While walking inside giant spheres is not on his bucket list, Shah is on tour himself. After shows in Hyderabad, Gurgaon, and Goa last weekend, the comedian is pulling his socks up to tickle Mumbai’s funny bone this weekend.
