Biswa Kalyan Rath: Hinglish & Engdi Biswa Kalyan Rath is back in London, and this time, he's diving deep into the labyrinth of the English language, love and marriage (yes they are separate and you will know why!) and a little bit of cross-border curiosity.
From the hip lingo of South Bombay's elite to the peculiar quirks of English words, Biswa's sharp wit and observational humor will have you laughing until your sides ache, with the same intensity of how Mumbaikars heads ache while hunting for flats. And as if that weren't enough, he'll also tackle the delicate dance of negotiating with your spouse on daily chores and the bureaucratic maze that a govt office is.

The show is brand new. The jokes are fresh out of the oven. Over 5000 people have seen it, it’s your turn now London.

Performed in Hinglish

Pali and Jay's Ultimate Asian Wedding DJ Roadshow From Rifco Theatre comes an immersive DJ bromance.
Whoever said there are too many actors in LA has never seen the number of DJs in Southall. Nowadays, anyone with a laptop and a pair of headphones can post a video of themselves online mixing a few tracks and claim to be from the same pind as Diljit Dosanjh.
Pali is an old school lover of the craft. His heart is set on moulding his nephew Jay into the heir to his empire, built one dancefloor tile at a time. But Jay is only interested in the perks of the gig: free food and fitties in the crowd. Meanwhile, cases of rival DJ sabotage are on the rise…
Using only their simple DJ set up and the odd cup of chai, Pali and Jay will transport you through time, from Southall’s Biggest Deck Off 1999 to now.
Our uncle and nephew DJing duo must successfully navigate their latest gig to save the company, their future aspirations, and ultimately, their relationship.
