From India New England Online (talk about your niche publications!), comes word that film director Piyush Dinker Pandya (“American Desi”) is dabbling in standup comedy promotion with his Gurus of Comedy 2004 revue:
“These are South Asians and they are the best at what they are, so [I] decided ‘Gurus of Comedy’ would be a good name,” Pandya says.
The Boston show will be hosted at the Comedy Connection in Faneuil Hall. The lineup is impressive: Russell Peters, a Canadian who has worked with Comedy Central and Yuk-Yuk Improv and whom Pandya describes as “the best South Asian standup comic” he has seen; Anand Chulani, from Comedy Store and the movie “American Chai;” and Paul Varghese, from the Improv Comedy Club, who performed in NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Another Canadian talent, Mo-D, will host the show.
