Fletcher Opera Theater
Anubhav Singh Bassi is a name that has become synonymous with laughter and relatable humor in the Indian comedy scene. Born and raised in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, Bassi's journey to becoming a renowned stand-up comedian is both inspiring and intriguing.
Bassi pursued his early education in Meerut and later moved to Delhi to study law at the prestigious National Law University. However, his true calling lay in comedy, and he soon found himself gravitating towards the stage. His decision to switch from law to comedy might seem drastic, but it was driven by his passion for making people laugh. Bassi's knack for storytelling and his ability to draw humor from everyday situations quickly set him apart from his peers.
