Things We Live, Rarely Question
What he talks about
Rahul’s material draws from everyday life, usually the parts we don’t bother analysing.
- A Punjabi mother who has commentary on everything.
- Middle-class ambition balanced with permanent caution.
- The urban lifestyle we all live in, where long commutes, corporate polish, and personal chaos overlap daily.
- Work-from-home routines that promise freedom and deliver confusion.
There’s often a modern funny chaos running through his jokes. Not because it’s a theme, but because it’s unavoidable. Rahul’s stage presence is calm and deliberate. He doesn’t shout, rush, or rely on constant audience interaction. He builds the set patiently, allowing the room to catch up, and trusts the material to do the work.
Testimonials
Real reactions from audiences and clients who’ve experienced the show live.
Rahul’s professionalism stood out from the start. He actively participated in a pre-show briefing, arrived well ahead of time on the event day—even in heavy rain—and took the initiative to suggest improvements to the seating layout and sound setup.
Aanchal Khanna, Infoedge
We had Rahul perform for our employees in 2022 during a time when most of us were still working online, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision.
Hosting an online stand-up comedy event is no easy task, but Rahul handled it brilliantly.
Anubhav Jain, Max Life Insurance
We had Rahul perform at our Half Yearly team party, in a restaurant-cum-bar in Connaught Place, Delhi. With a young and lively audience enjoying food, drinks, and conversations, the atmosphere was kept relaxed and informal.
