Telling Lies by Aashish Solanki at Hauz Khas Village — An Hour of Family, Fatherhood, and Unfiltered Comedy

Aashish Solanki has been performing stand-up long enough to have built a recognisable voice — dry, personal, and rooted in the kind of situations most people quietly recognise but rarely talk about out loud. His latest solo hour, Telling Lies, arrives at a particular moment in his life: he is a new father, recently navigating the shift from being someone who made jokes about other people's families to being fully embedded in one of his own.

The material in this show draws from his actual life — first love that never quite leaves the memory, gym routines that test his patience more than his fitness, the particular dynamic of having a sister who consistently gets the better of him, and parents whose approach to gift-giving has always defied explanation. Before comedy, Solanki was a mathematics teacher, and that background surfaces in how he structures an argument and builds to a point — methodical underneath the casual delivery.

Telling Lies is not a themed show built around a single concept. It is closer to an honest account of where he currently is — the small contradictions, the family pressures, the adjustments that come with becoming a parent while still trying to be funny about all of it. The comedy is personal without being indulgent, and grounded without being dull.

The Comedy Theatre at Hauz Khas Village is a purpose-built comedy venue, which means the setup is designed for this format — focused audience, proper acoustics, no distractions from an adjacent dining crowd. A Sunday 8 PM slot suits the format well: late enough to feel like a proper evening out, early enough that it does not stretch into the week.

At Rs 499, it is reasonable for a full solo hour from a comedian with an established following.

SouthDelhi.com Context

Hauz Khas Village is one of South Delhi's most frequented destinations for live entertainment, and The Comedy Theatre is among the few venues in the city that operates as a dedicated stand-up space. For residents of Green Park, Safdarjung Enclave, Greater Kailash, South Extension, and the broader South Delhi belt, the venue is a short and familiar ride.

A Sunday evening show at 8 PM works well as a standalone plan — the duration is exactly one hour, which means the evening wraps up at a reasonable time without running late into the week. For South Delhi residents who follow the local live comedy circuit, Aashish Solanki is a familiar name, and a new solo hour from a comedian at this stage of his career — with fresh material around fatherhood and family — is a natural draw. The ticket price of Rs 499 keeps it accessible for most.
