My Compelling Story

  Urooj Ashfaq is a stand up comedian from the city which never sleeps, Mumbai. Pursuing a dream of becoming a pan India comedian, she is one of the few females who gives a tough competition to her male peers. Her sense of humour and fun is exemplary. Her social media bio reads - “I make jokes because I am not smart enough to be an astronaut.” Urooj defines her personality as a comedian with this simple and crisp biography. If you get the pun then good enough, if not then you should certainly be an astronaut! She has travelled across the country and took the stage and set some hard hitting, humourous punches for the audience. Bangalore and Mumbai bare witness to most of her shows. These two cities give her so much inspiration to write more and more jokes. Urooj doesn’t shy away from breaking apart the prestige of the audiences. It’s only when you get a hit that you feel how funny or insulting it is. From teachers at campus stand ups to organisers at private shows, she doesn’t spare a single soul. And the best part? They never complain!
