Azeem Banatwalla
Generational
After a decade attempting to speak truth to power in India, Azeem Banatwalla has lost all his friends. He's really just doing this show to find actual humans to talk to, because the alternative is staring at a phone screen. With everyone his age is raising kids or battling depression, Azeem's only social interactions are with Gen-Z kids on the internet who call him 'washed', 'cooked' and other household chores.
Worryingly, he has learnt what a 'griddy' is. Unfortunately, after this show, so will you.
Generational is a show about our relationship with our friends and our phones, and how excessive connectedness has, in fact, created the loneliest generation in history.
Azeem Banatwalla is one of India's most critically acclaimed stand-up comedians, with four stand-up specials (two on Amazon Prime Video) and tens of millions of views of his YouTube videos. Known for his keen observational humour, sharp writing and satire, he enjoyed a terrific debut run at Melbourne International Comedy Festiva; in 2024, with 10 sold out shows. This year he's back to add to that tally.
Azeem also hosts India's most popular football and F1 podcasts – '44Two' and 'The Sidepod'.
'A formidable writer and performer.' Deadant (India)
'Effortlessly likable.' The Hindu (India)
'Relatable humour, undeniable charm, and a deep love for his craft.' The New Indian Express (India)
