Ghayal: A Stand-Up Comedy Show by Pranit More 2027

Ghayal, the new stand-up show by Pranit More, comes to Dubai on Sunday 10 January 2027, with the comedian performing in Hindi at Dubai College in Al Sufouh. It is his most personal hour yet, built around his own life story and the incidents that put him in the headlines, and it is presented in the UAE by Hustle Entertainment.

Who is Pranit More?

Pranit More is a Maharashtrian comedian who first built a following with cricket jokes and Bollywood roasts, then went on to wider fame as the second runner-up on the latest season of Bigg Boss. On stage he is known for quick wit, candid vulnerability and a lot of banter with the room. He has said in interviews that his sets usually split roughly half and half between written material and crowd work, and that if forced to choose he prefers crowd work because it lets him be more free and creative.

What Ghayal is about

Ghayal, which translates as “wounded”, is not a conventional collection of stand-up bits. The show takes the audience through the people, places and incidents that shaped Pranit’s perspective and personality, from growing up to the experiences that made him who he is today. Crucially, it also takes on the headline-making moments of the past year directly.

Ghayal is his first special since a widely reported controversy in 2026 that began during a crowd work exchange, after which he apologised publicly. When announcing the show, he said that while he cannot change what happened, he can decide who he became because of it. Expect the hour to be funny, but also more reflective and confessional than his earlier work, with those events forming part of the material rather than being skipped over.

The show at Dubai College

The performance takes place at Dubai College, a school campus in Al Sufouh 2. Doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 7:30pm, with a running time of around 60 minutes. Tickets admit one person each, seating is allocated as best available at booking, and the show is for ages 16 and over.

As the set is performed in Hindi, it is best suited to audiences comfortable following fast, colloquial Hindi. There is no indication of subtitles or translation.

Getting to Al Sufouh

Dubai College is reachable by Dubai Metro on the Red Line to Nakheel station, followed by RTA bus F29 towards Dubai Internet City Metro Station, getting off at the Dubai College bus stop. By car, route via Umm Al Sheif Street, turn right onto 18th Street and then left onto Al Sufouh Road. Taxis reach the campus easily from anywhere in the city. You can find other shows at the venue on our Dubai College venue page.

Is Ghayal for you?

Ghayal will appeal most to fans who have followed Pranit’s crowd work clips online and his run on Bigg Boss, and who want to hear his side of the past year in his own words. It is also a strong pick for anyone who likes stand-up that mixes laughs with honesty. If you prefer purely light-hearted observational comedy, note that this hour leans personal.

With a Sunday evening slot and a tight one hour running time, it fits easily into the start of the working week. Bring friends who share your sense of humour: much of the fun in a Pranit More show comes from the room itself, and the crowd work sections mean no two nights are the same.
