Urvi Majumdar

Urvi Majumdar is the Hannah Montana of comedy- Teacher by day, Comedian by night and hoping not to get recognised for the wrong one! Even though she’s a teacher, Urvi still feels like a student in most aspects of life. This is a show about teaching, learning and epic failing. And if Jayden from year 8 asks if you know Urvi— you don’t.

You may have seen Urvi over the years in our Comedy Festival Galas and spots and now she brings a brand new hour of jokes for the first time to Bendigo! Urvi is quickly establishing herself as one of the most exciting and prominent creative voices on the Australian Comedy Scene. She has performed to sold-out crowds around the country at Melbourne International, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth Comedy Festivals. You might recognise her from ABC’s critically acclaimed hit shows Fisk and Guy Montgomery’s Spelling Bee, Channel Ten’s Cheap Seats or SBS’s Celebrity Letters and Numbers or The Cook Up with Adam Liaw.

Her debut solo comedy show was adapted by Screen Australia and ABC, into an AACTA and AWGIE nominated webseries and recently, a half hour pilot which aired on ABC and ABCiview. It’s called ‘Urvi Went to an All Girls School’. Some people might say Urvi is obsessed with schools, and they’d be right – nerds rule xx
