Desi SNL is a live sketch comedy show celebrating South Asian culture, performed on stage in New York City. Created and directed by Azhar Bande-Ali, the show brings together writers, actors, and comedians from the diaspora to make people laugh at the things we all recognize but nobody's said out loud. Our debut run in November 2025 sold out four shows.
