Sorabh Dhir

Picture a hairy Indian bloke from Essex who figured out the secret to fitting in was to stop trying—and turned that revelation into an award-winning comedy double act. Born in Manchester, raised amidst the fake tan and bling of Essex, Sorabh Dhir now calls South London home with his dog (both surviving on sheer loveability, according to him). He's a Clap Back To Reality Winner 2024 and Musical Comedy Awards Finalist 2025 who took his sharp observational style to Edinburgh Fringe 2025 with #IsThisEssex?, a split-bill show with Wes Defoe that had reviewers buzzing about his warm, energetic crowd work and crowd-pleasing charm. His material tackles the intricacies of manscaping, race, identity, and the absurdity of being mistaken for every ethnicity except his actual one—all delivered with the kind of anecdotal storytelling that feels like a mate down the pub who just happens to be funnier than your entire friendship group. Rolling Stone UK named him one of comedy's rising stars, and he's been gracing stages as both performer and MC across London's circuit. A favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024, Sorabh brings that rare combination of warmth and mischief that keeps audiences coming back for more.
