Syama Harini

Syama Harini became a stand-up comic three years ago after watching quite a few live shows of Karthik Kumar, SA Aravind, and Bhargav Ramakrishnan in Chennai. She took up the mic so she could also be heard through her rants, because otherwise it seemed like people had stopped listening. She performs across cafes, pubs, and now recently in comedy clubs, which have been springing open in Chennai. She has done one show in Telugu, which was an opening act for Saikiran. She wants to try Telugu stand-up soon as performing in one's own mother tongue seems easier to her. She also does clowning and theatre.
