Anu Vaidyanathan is among very few women of Indian Origin to host an hourlong standup comedy show in English at the Fringe in 2022. In addition, last year, Anu performed to packed houses in Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and London, and some other smaller clubs in (Budapest, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Barcelona, and Madrid). She has shared the stage with renowned names such as Michelle Wolf, Janine Harouni, Erika Ehler, and Lucy Pohl with TV/stage/film credits in London, USA.
On the appeal of live comedy, Anu says: “I believe in structure and understanding how much you can push your material. It frees me – I can play and explore how I’m going to say it. Last year the experience of the Edinburgh Fringe was a really wonderful way to directly communicate with an audience. The audience came from all parts of the world, and I was very surprised that both men and women related to different parts of the same hour.”
Tickets for the Indian tour will go on sale in the first fortnight of January.
