Passport Pals — a stand-up special where borders blur, accents fly, and culture shocks are served with a punchline.
From navigating dating in the city of love to surviving the maze of French bureaucracy—or dodging Parisian pigeons with an attitude problem—Karthik and Kenny bring sharp observational humor and unexpected stories, all through the unique lens of two outsiders who know that laughter is the real universal language.
Karthik and Kenny are two of the most sought-after comedians on the Parisian comedy scene. They've performed on numerous stand-up stages across Paris and Europe, including the widely acclaimed Don’t Tell Comedy—and many more.
Karthik(@karthikstandupcomedy) has opened for Indian comedy heavyweights like Varun Grover and Jaspreet Singh. His wins at regional gong shows and his performance on France’s biggest English comedy showcase, Paul Taylor and Friends, have made him a favorite among local comedy audiences.
Kenny(@blunt10k) has shared the stage with internationally renowned comedians such as Joyelle Nicole Johnson and Andy Huggins. Armed with an infectious smile and a gift for joyful storytelling, he hosts a weekly comedy show in Paris that takes international audiences on a laughter-filled ride every time.
