Stand-up Comedy & Open Mics in Trivandrum
Nothing is listed for coming up yet — new events are added every morning, so check back soon.
Trivandrum does not have a dedicated comedy club, so stand-up arrives show by show. Touring comedians from Kochi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Mumbai book hotel banquet halls, small auditoriums and convention spaces for one-night stops, performing in Malayalam, English or a mix, and tickets usually go on sale two to four weeks ahead. Local collectives run open mics and line-up nights in cafes around Kowdiar, Vellayambalam, Pattom and Kazhakkoottam, where Technopark's workforce supplies much of the audience. Kerala's older comedy tradition, mimicry and sketch troupes, turns up on Onam week stages, at temple festivals and in ticketed stage shows at Tagore Theatre and Nishagandhi. College festivals add comedy nights during the academic year. This page lists stand-up shows, improv, sketch nights and open mics across Thiruvananthapuram, refreshed daily.
