Azeem Banatwalla is a stand-up comedian who's received standing ovations all over the country, predominantly in rooms without chairs. Two years in the making, his stand-up special "Out of My System" is a collection of jokes, anecdotes and observations that have come about and been polished through hundreds of shows in pubs and clubs across the country. Azeem tackles everyday issues like driving, shopping, religion, Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, as well as more trivial topics like Zimbabwe's economy and how it is dependent on flying space monkeys (no, really). This one-hour stand-up special (entirely in English, with a sprinkle of Hindi here and there) is a lot of things ? it's irreverent, intelligent, and sometimes, downright stupid. However, Azeem is certain that he needs your help to get it all out of his system.
About the Organizers:
Prakriti Foundation was founded by Ranvir Shah in Chennai in 1998 to host events enquiring into our cultural heritage and inheritance. The vision behind Prakriti was to host events that would play a catalytic role in changing and enlarging the cultural scene in Chennai. Thus, Prakriti Foundation saw itself typically as the moving force behind events as diverse as music concerts, seminars and serious scholarly discourse, multi media events, experimental and protest cinema and theatre festivals. In the last nine years, Prakriti Foundation has worked to explore identity through history and heritage, art and cultural expression. In a city accustomed to a regular diet of classical performance, Prakriti has been the space where scholars, researchers, artists, critics, poets and filmmakers have been able to present their work to those who engage with it on serious terms. Our lecture demonstrations, poetry readings, film screenings and intimate performances continue to dot the Chennai calendar.
