South Asian P.U.P Comedy
South Asian P.U.P Comedy will be held in the heart of downtown Boston’s theatre district on June 2, 2012, hosted by two top-notch Indian standup comedians who have opened for Russell Peters: Paul Varghese and Paul Singh, along with Usha Govindarajulu, the skit writer. The two-hour long program will consist of stand-up pieces by Paul V and Paul S separately as well as comedic skits and interludes written by Usha. Each Paul has extensive experience in standup comedy. All are invited to attend the best South Asian comedy event in Boston this summer!
Paul Varghese's act includes a number of observations about being Indian, providing outsider-looking-in and insider-looking-out commentary, while also exploring an array of topics and issues outside that realm. He was named by the Dallas Observer in 2007 as the 'Best Stand-up Comic in Dallas' and recently won the 2009 'Funniest Comic in Dallas' competition. Varghese has performed at the HBO Comedy Festival, the Montreal and Toronto's Just For Laughs Festivals and the TBS Comedy Festival. His TV credits include Telemundo 2's Loco Comedy Jam, NBC's Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central's Live At Gotham and he can be seen this October 17th on Showtime's Russell Peters Presents.
Paul Singh, after winning the humorous speech contest over 10 times all the way up to the National level, in Toastmasters, in 2002, started his stand up comedy career. Along the way, Paul has performed at all the top venues in the world, including the Improvs, Comedy Zone, Yuks Yuks in Canada. Paul says,' I love to laugh, so I make others laugh. In my world, It does not matter who tells the joke, as long as we all laugh. Most comics laugh at people, I laugh with people.' Lately Paul won the 'Desi Comedy Idol' in NY in 2009, and he is starring in a newly released Bollywood film, '9-Eleven'. He is in talks with producers for a humorous Talk Show.So what is Paul's philosophy in life . . .'Be true to the moment at all times, and believe in 'SARBAT KA BHALA' (win for all).
Usha Govindarajulu got her start as a writer, but has been involved with theater work and dance productions on/off since college. She became more involved with theater after producing the play, Bend It Like Auntie, which she had written, in October 2005. In 2006, she directed and wrote skits for a theatrical event, NetSAP Comedy Mela, held at the Comedy Connection. She was an assistant producer for the highly successful play, Indian Ink in collaboration with Small World Big Sky Productions.
