Sumukhi Suresh – Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Comedian, actor, writer, show runner and most importantly a show off, introducing “one of the hottest talents to emerge from the Indian comedy scene” (Deadant, UK).

Sumukhi’s “effortless charisma” (The Scotsman), won huge audiences for her Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2024. A show about the quirks and pitfalls of modern romance, complicated by a high profile back home, makes for an uproarious hour in her vivacious hands. Shifts to more vulnerable admissions “never sacrifice laughter for pathos” (The Scotsman).

The creator of the acclaimed Pushpavalli (which won her a FiImfare) and judge on Comicstaan, Sumukhi navigates modern independence in her 30s, breaking tradition and hilariously failing at being a ‘hoe’ while battling hormones and the fear of dying alone. Delightful and delightfully unsettling, Hoemonal will be a hot ticket.
