NYC South Asian Comedy Festival Roast Battle – India Vs Pakistan Vs Bangladesh Vs Sri Lanka.

Red Room
Show 9PM

The most electric night of the NYC South Asian Comedy Festival is here: a winner-takes-all Roast Battle pitting comedians representing India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka against each other on the same stage. No alliances. No mercy. Just bars, burns, and national pride on the line. The stakes: The audience votes on every round. The loser performs a short set before exiting the stage — and the Roast Battle Winner headlines the rest of the show. Host: Divya Gunasekaran – NYC Asian Comedy Fest, Lady Laughs Comedy Fest, Palm Springs Comedy Festival; Akash Bajpai — NYC comic, 2025 Rodney's Comedy Festival semifinalist; John Ajodah — reigning Roast Battle Champion, Netflix Is a Joke and Comedy Cellar alum; Ali Mehedi – CBC Canada, Halifax Comedy Festival, New York Comedy Festival, Laughing Lassi; Farooq Hussain – NY Comedy Festival, opened for Hasan Minhaj & Pete Davidson, SiriusXM; SpecialGuest: Adam Mamawala – Comedy Central, MTV, Dane Cook Tour This is comedy as competitive sport — South Asian style. Whoever survives the roast earns the mic for a full headline set. Part of the NYC South Asian Comedy Festival, New York’s first and the world’s largest South Asian comedy festival, running October 16–18, 2026. The laughs don’t stop when the shows end. Join us for the official NYC South Asian Comedy Festival After-Party from 11 PM onward. Location to be announced during the show.
