— LIVE COMEDY / MEET THE TALENT
A sharp mind. A playful streak.
Plenty to say.
Eshaan mixes thoughtful observations with a mischievous sense of humour. Familiar from Live at the Apollo and QI, he brings an engaging presence to stand-up, awards and company events.

Background in banking and local government
Before comedy, Eshaan worked in banking and local government. He knows his way around a corporate room, and now has rather better material for it.
Eshaan’s comedy combines an inquisitive outlook with a willingness to poke at the things we take for granted. His television appearances include Live at the Apollo, QI and Mock the Week, and he has also appeared in Netflix’s Sex Education.
On stage, he has taken solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre, toured the UK and supported Micky Flanagan. His work also spans radio and podcasts, including presenting on the BBC Asian Network.
For events, Eshaan offers stand-up, awards hosting and company-day MC duties, as well as moderating panels and Q&As. His previous working life gives him a useful understanding of the people behind the lanyards.
There is plenty beyond the microphone, too: he has appeared on Celebrity MasterChef and worked as a Bollywood dance choreographer. An unusually varied CV, even by comedy standards.
