If attending a comedy show in the new year is one of your resolutions, you’re in luck. The city has a burgeoning comedy scene that is unveiled when one steps in the interiors of its comedy clubs, performance venues and open mics.

I was a regular audience member at whatever open mic happened to be ongoing,” Shreemayee Das, the co-founder of Grin Revolution, tells us. “A lot of people told me I should also try performing, and while I resisted it for a long time, I eventually gave it a shot.” It was after this, she says, that she realised her inclination lay more towards understanding the dynamics of curation—bringing together the right personalities, shaping the flow of the show, and setting the mood for the audience.
