Prateek Kohli: Denial
Prateek Kohli / PBH's Free Fringe • Semi-professional company
About the show
Prateek Kohli: Denial is a free stand-up comedy show at the Southsider, presented as part of PBH's Free Fringe. Kohli is an upcoming Indian comic making his name on the UK comedy circuit, regularly performing at clubs including The Comedy Store, Up the Creek and Komedia. The show explores the everyday absurdities of India, the US and the UK — three countries where Kohli has lived and performed — with observations that turn historical and political before swerving into outright denial at unexpected moments.
Why see this show?
A free show from a comic drawing on the rich material of three cultures. Kohli's observations move from the personal to the political without warning — an engaging and unpredictable hour at the Fringe.
