Comedy clubs enliven the laughter scene in Hyderabad

The Hindu  

Comedy clubs are making their mark in Hyderabad’s entertainment scene. While cafes, auditoriums, and cultural spaces frequently host stand-up shows and open mics, two dedicated venues—The Comedy Theatre and The Street Comedy Club—are taking centre stage. Gurgaon-based stand-up comedian Adel Rahman launched The Comedy Theatre in Gurugram in 2022, followed by Hyderabad in May 2024. Keeping the local scene alive, The Comedy Theatre also promotes Telugu stand-up with dedicated weekend shows. This cosy 35-seater offers an intimate setting where comedy enthusiasts can enjoy an evening of laughter or watch budding comedians test new material during open mics.
