Ahsaan Qureshi

Madhya Pradesh-born stand-up comedian, Ahsaan Qureshi, was a stage performer for several years before he took Indian television by storm in 2005, as the runner-up on the original stand-up comedy show, The Great Indian Laughter Challenge on Star One. Indian viewers may never have experienced his one-of-a-kind brand of entertainment if it hadn't been for his friends, who pushed him to be part of the show. The star has become a household name with his particular penchant for political satire, social issues and Urdu shayari, and has been a regular feature at important corporate events, award shows and competitions. If you're looking for someone to bring the funny to a birthday or anniversary party, or even your annual employee training programme, look no further than Qureshi.
