About Sorabh Dhir
Good Boy is a stand-up comedy show from Sorabh Dhir, a comedian who grew up in a typical Indian household where education was paramount and dogs were to be feared. Growing up in Essex, Sorabh felt everyone around him decided who he was before he did — British or Indian enough, lawyer or tech worker, and who to marry. The show follows what happened when he abandoned all of that for comedy and got a dog called Rocket. Good Boy is about finding success through mistakes, with special guest appearances from Rocket. The show runs for 50 minutes at Slice 1 and is suitable for ages 16 and above.
Why see this show?
A stand-up that traces the gap between the life you're handed and the one you choose — with a dog called Rocket as an unlikely co-star. Sorabh Dhir brings a personal and warmly observational eye to questions of identity and belonging.
