"We share a lot of similarities as two nations."
Plan Your Entertainment (PYE) partners with DESIblitz to give away a pair of tickets each for India vs Pakistan Comedy Clash: Breaking Barriers with Comedy and Laughter in Manchester on Saturday, March 2, 2019, and London on Friday, March 8, 2019.
Following the grand success of the 2018 event, India vs Pakistan Comedy Clash returns for 2019 as a 2-city tour held in Manchester and London.
This unique and hilarious two-hour comedy show will aim to unite the Indian and Pakistani communities together through laughter.

The shows will welcome 10 exceptionally funny and award-winning comedians, including the host who will entertain everyone.
Both shows will entirely be in English, with the occasional usage of Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.

Malik who is also the co-host for the Manchester event spoke exclusively to DESIblitz about the vision behind this event:
“The idea for this event was born 2 years ago and inspiration was my obsession with cricket.
“Like a cricket match, the event has two captains that will toss a coin.”
“We even go as far as playing the national anthems. It’s like taking a situation and being upfront about it.
“There is tension between Pakistan and India but by using comedy as common ground between us we are coming together and rebelling against the idea that we cannot be one.
“We share a lot of similarities as two nations.”
Salman and his team have put their heart and soul into this project. They have loads of surprises for the guests attending.
The unmissable evening will be full of great laughter and banter.
