NITISH SAKHUJA
Nitish Sakhuja’s who’s mantra reigns, funny over everything, is one of Canada’s funniest, up and coming comedians on the scene today. Born and raised in Toronto, a second generation Indian-Canadian with a love for comedy, Nitish made his name first as the funny guy on the block. He quickly established himself as a comedian by winning a few Funniest Comic Competitions in his first two months as a stand up. More than 13 years later Nitish has become a crowd favourite everywhere he performs. He recently made his debut as one of the New Faces of Comedy at the prestigious Just For Laugh festival, Performed at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and recently returned from The Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
A staple in the cannabis-friendly comedy circuit, Nitish Sakhuja is known for his signature laid-back style of delivery. His stage personality gives the impression of someone who rarely finished his homework on time. And his second release, Person of Colour, delivers so much potential that I wish, just this once, he had.
