Being different is hilarious... once you embrace it! Other is a two-person stand-up show about the experiences of being different, trying/pretending to fit in and learning to embrace your otherness. If you've ever been in a situation where you feel like you don't belong, this show is for you! Rohan and Mani uniquely incorporate elements of observational stand-up, split-bill, double act and audience participation (with a quiz!) to ultimately demonstrate that we're all other in our own ways. Previous audience acclaim includes: 'Thoughtful and awesome. Laughed till my sides hurt!' and 'Such a good mix of comedy and heart'.
