Kaamedy Inc. is an Improv comedy troupe formed by a bunch of corporate professionals who operate like Batman – regular white-collar execs by the day and laughter vigilantes at night. Kaamedy Inc specializes in “Improv” or improvised comedy, a form of live theatre in which the plot, characters and dialogue of a scene are made up on the spot on the basis of suggestions from the audience. The members of the troupe come from diverse backgrounds across Media, Technology, and Banking and have been regularly performing at corporates and performance venues across India.
At Kaamedy Inc, I write content, perform and produce shows.
