Neel Kolhatkar

With 500,000 plus Facebook followers & YouTube subscribers, and tens of millions of views across all platforms, Neel Kolhatkar’s following is testament to his skill as a comedian and filmmaker. Still only 24 years of age, he has been dubbed the “voice of Generation-Y” and “one of the brightest prospects in the comedy world.” Now also making his mark on Australian TV screens, Neel last year created “Virgin Bush” with the ABC, a fish out of water series which saw him traveling to outback Australia. This year he will be starring in Network 10’s newest comedy: Street Smart & Skit Happens for Pilot Week. As a stand-up comedian, his insightful, hard-hitting and at times scathing commentary on topics ranging from youth, media, gender and race has now charmed audiences across 5 countries. Neel has performed at Just For Laughs Sydney, the Sydney Comedy Festival Cracker Night for the Comedy Channel and was interviewed on The Rubin Report on “calling out the left with comedy.”
