Comedic twist on family expectations

For those looking to get their laughs from somewhere new this August, look no further than Brown Women Comedy at the Wyndham Cultural Centre.

No topic will be taboo for this witty and proudly shameless line up of Indian and South Asian comedians living in Australia.

From growing up brown in Australia, being bisexual to getting disowned thrice, these women won’t be holding back on turning traditional family expectations into comedy gold.

Kru Harale will dazzle the crowd with her vivacity and navigate her way through stories about fellow Indians, the land down under and swashbuckling around the world.

The sharp storyteller speaks with laid-back confidence and candidly weaves through taboo topics— probably part of the reason her Punjabi TikTok videos have garnered over 30 million views.

Guneet Kaur has been described as “sharp and anxious”, while Simran Pasricha is an Indian-Malaysian journalist by day and a chronic oversharer by night.

Whether she’s spilling the chai on being a brown girl or navigating the newsroom, she’s always serving spice, stories, and laughs with absolutely no filter.

Daizy Maan, another TikTok sensation with more than 25 million views, has used her sassy storytelling to call out sexism in Punjabi music.

Once upon a time she had a day job leading start-up programs for universities, but has since embraced “self employment”.

The show will run for 70 minutes, with no intermissions to kill the vibe.

Audience members are recommended to have had 18 birthdays to get the most out of the routine.

The show begins at 8pm on Saturday, August 23.
