Zakir Khan – Live

The power of Zakir Khan’s comedy is in its relatability. His honest, anecdotal, and heartfelt delivery has won him millions of fans in comedy clubs, social media, and the 20 countries he’s performed in. He’s bringing his live show to The Opera House in 2025. Wellington should get ready for a style of comedy described as poetic, rustic, and very funny. 

Zakir came up in India’s stand-up comedy circuit in 2012. He won the title of ‘India’s Best Stand Up’ in a comedy competition organised by Comedy Central. He says he used humour as a shield when bullied as a child. His personal and honest brand of humour is anecdote-based, punctuating his stories with lines that have become catchphrases to his fans. His talents range far and wide. He has a diploma in sitar playing, is a published poet, and has produced radio shows.
