Brown Women Comedy

Laugh your heart out to an award-winning bold & besharam (shameless) line-up of Indian & South Asian Australian comedians living in Australia. No topic is too taboo. These women won’t be holding back. Your parents probably won’t approve as you trauma bond watching these six women turn family expectations & life into comedy gold. With over 3000 people attending in 2024 and sold out shows across Melbourne, Sydney & Adelaide - you won’t want to miss this one. 

Featuring Daizy Maan, Kru Harale, Niv Prakasam & Ramya Ramapriya.

Daizy’s Maan’s hilarious secret TikTok channel calling out sexism in Punjabi music and…well...Punjabi men, has garnered over 25 million views. She’s decided to turn her sassy yet pendu (or ‘bogan’) Punjabi existence into stand-up, asking “is this offensive when I say it in English?” every two minutes. Described as “a sharp storyteller who speaks with laid-back confidence”, Daizy once had a real day job leading startup programs for universities and is now “self-employed”, at least according to the last census. 

With her quirky take on life, Ramya Ramapriya blends sharp societal observations with humour. Featured on Comicstaan and Amazon Prime, she co-wrote Netflix’s Guns and Gulaabs. Known for her hilarious IG skits. Born in Mysore but brought up all over India, she’s ready to shake things up down under. 

Niv Prakasam won the reality TV show Queens of Comedy that aired on the TLC channel in 2017 kick starting her comedy career. She appeared on the Netflix show Ladies Up in 2020. She has toured the country with her material. Her first YouTube video garnered 5.7M views and with 82,000 subscribers she’s just getting started. 

As seen on ABC’s Win The Week, you’ll find Kru Harale making audiences laugh with her ‘fresh’ (off the boat) perspectives. The Melbourne-based comedian’s vivacious energy crackles through her routine, as she describes her stories about Indians, Australia and globe-trotting.

Having performed alongside Australia’s biggest names including Kitty Flanagan, Dave O'Neil and Anne Edmonds.
