Shamik Chakrabarti

Despite Appearances

  • India

Shamik is the latest voice to break out from the burgeoning comedy scene in India. He makes his Australian debut with his dry wit and laid-back rants. Namaste.

Never judge a book by its cover. 

Not many people know this, but that sentence is an idiom and not really about books. It literally means – never judge a person by their face. Take the above face for example. You might think it belongs to a sensible man, a practical man. You’d be wrong. He’s not the responsible older sibling. He’s not good at chess. He’s not a nerd. At least, not in a useful way.

He’s a scatterbrained only child who dreams of doing nothing and relies on his stand-up career to sustain that dream. Despite Appearances is an effort to put things right and break away from shallow, face-driven stereotypes. But you should just watch it for a laugh.

As seen on Amazon Prime Video's Comicstaan Season 3

Over 25 million views on Instagram and 8 million views on Youtube

Best selling show of the 2024 Mumbai Comedy Festival
