Rez Bhatt

There is something distinctive about a comedian who has lived in more than one world. Rez Bhatt was born in South Africa, raised in London, and carries Indian roots — a combination that informs his stand-up comedy in ways that feel specific and surprising in equal measure.

His style is fast-paced and conversational, built on storytelling and wry observation. He does not linger — the ideas come quickly, the laughs follow close behind, and by the end of a set, a room has been taken somewhere it did not expect to go. He has performed across the country, and is currently one of the more interesting rising acts on the London comedy scene.

The kind of comedian that makes you wish you had seen him sooner.
