Bengaluru’s Most Loved Comedian, Danish Sait has been entertaining the city for over two decades across stadiums, film sets and phone screens. With his first stand-up comedy tour, Bengaluru Boy, Danish takes his work to audiences around the world.
Danish first built a following with his prank calls, which became a local phenomenon. Since then he has grown into one of the most recognisable voices in Indian comedy. As Mr. Nags, the insider persona he created for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, he has interviewed some of the biggest names in international cricket with trademark wit. On Instagram, his wide range of original characters has earned him a large and loyal audience. Each character is a sharply observed, affectionate portrait of everyday life in the city. As an actor, he brings the same instinct for character to the screen.
