During his school days, Harsh Gujral used to mimic other people, which seemed hilarious to people. Harsh Gujral believes all his humour comes from his hometown Kanpur and his mother. Harsh Gujral performed his first stage show in 2017 when his friends insisted him to do so. 

Before he started doing stand up shows, he worked with different companies, one of which was Rate Gain based in Noida (2012), where he was working as a Database Engineer. The best part was that he didn’t even know that he was working as a database engineer in this company. Harsh has also worked with IBM, HCL, and TCS. 

Harsh used to get bored in that corporate environment, so he started writing jokes based on his observation in the office. His comedy is based on real-life events and people. Harsh Gujral was living in the UK for a year, after which he started doing comedy standups after seeing people doing it there in the country. He came back to India and started doing shows at Canvas Laugh Club.

Famous standup comedian Jeeveshu Ahluwalia guided him to do open mics, and until then, Harsh Gujral didn’t know of open mics. He began his search for the same and landed Canvas Laugh Club, Gurugram, Haryana. Harsh randomly mailed him, stating that he wanted to work with Jeeveshu, after which he guided him to follow the right path. Harsh Gujral has done shows in Singapore, Doha and is planning to do it in New Zealand, Dubai, and Australia.

Stage comedy has many dimensions to it, and it requires strength to struggle through the writing process. I am still learning the tricks of my trade. But despite all the challenges, the last two years were like a dream run. And I loved every bit of it.”
