Born in India, Gauri B moved to Germany at the age of 21 for an internship in architecture . But it led her to establish a career in stand-up comedy in the European nation, becoming one of the few brown comedians in Europe. And now, she is set to come to India in November for her first tour back home, and she is quite excited about it.
Sharing her excitement, Gauri says, “Indian audiences are one of the best in the world. Even in Germany, Netherlands or the UK, the comedians get so excited about performing for an Indian audience as they are so quick to laugh, and they have such a loud laughter that sets such a great vibe. I am looking forward to having an all-Indian audience.
It would be my first time performing for all my people.” A post shared by Gauri B (@itsgauri_b) While she isn’t in touch with the comedy scene in India, the comedian informs that she heard from other international artists who have toured the country, “internationally things are not so censored and are a bit freer when talking about sensitive topics.” However, the comic, who defines her style of comedy as “fresh, dark and culturally relevant”, hasn’t made any changes in her set for India.
“A lot of people have told me not to talk about certain things, but I have found my audience through social media. They are the ones coming to the show and they have seen my stuff online. So, they know what to expect and it wouldn’t be fair to alter my set to suit a certain expectation,” she says, a.
