Local comedy group comes in like a Shrek-ing ball to save Shrekfest

The greatest trick Shrekfest ever pulled was convincing the world it didn’t exist.

Comedy Nights With Kapil: Guthi back on Kapil Sharma's show

But this time Sunil Grover returns as his father-in-law; meanwhile, Kapil also gives in, show remains a bi-weekly.

Sunil Grover, whose monkey tricks and high jinks became the talk of the nation, is tying up his laces, as he gears up for a comeback on the show that made him a household name, Comedy Nights with Kapil.

REVIEW: Plymouth Comedy Club

PLYMOUTH Comedy Club’s big summer show, the Night of Headliners, coincided with an electrical storm hitting the city – appropriate as there was plenty of lightning wit inside the Holiday Inn.
