Kanan Gill is one of India’s most prominent stand-up comedians, widely regarded for his incisive observational humor and meticulous approach to writing. His comedy blends everyday insight with a global sensibility, allowing his work to travel seamlessly across cultures and audiences.
Rising from a strong digital following to become a formidable live performer, Kanan has headlined sold-out theatres and auditoriums around the world. His most recent world tour reached over 100,000 people across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia — a scale achieved by only a handful of Indian stand-up comics. Known for his calm stage presence and sharply constructed material, Kanan’s performances rely on precision rather than spectacle, earning him a loyal international audience.
In addition to stand-up, Kanan has written, acted, and released multiple comedy specials, further establishing his reputation as one of the defining voices in contemporary Indian comedy. His work reflects a confident restraint and clarity that resonate well beyond national borders.
In 2026, Kanan Gill returns with his most ambitious international tour to date, premiering a brand-new stand-up show across some of the most iconic venues across the globe.
