After sold out performances at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival 2021 and a two week season at Basement Theatre, Aman Bajaj and Bala Murali Shingade return with their acclaimed bromantic comedy, Boom Shankar.
Shankar Shinde is a fresh graduate of BDSM (Bomb Defusal School of Manukau). His expertise and nerves are tested when he is confronted with his first real-world challenge - will he rise to the occasion?
Join Shankar on a journey that explores love, life, and the importance of selecting the right type of yoghurt. He is forced to tap into all his training, unconventional coping mechanisms, divine intervention and sheer dumb luck, as he manoeuvres through his most unexpected and strangest adventure to date.
