About Manoj Prabakar
Manoj Prabakar is a Chennai-based stand-up comedian and one of the earlier voices in the city's comedy scene, known for turning his middle-class upbringing, engineering education, and corporate work life into sharp, relatable material. A software engineer by training, he found his sense of humour while pursuing his degree — which he now jokingly calls his biggest joke to date — and has been writing and performing since.
Over more than a decade on stage, Manoj has performed close to 400 shows across major cities including Chennai, Bangalore, Kochi, and Hyderabad. His comedic voice was recognized early with a TEDxMITE talk, "Art of Humour," and he has since released full-length stand-up specials including "Thinking Out Loud" and "I Tried," giving him a body of dedicated, long-form work beyond his popular short-form YouTube videos.
Booked through engage4more, the platform behind 5,000+ corporate events across India, Manoj brings his clean, multi-language-inclusive comedy to corporate stages where broad accessibility matters. His act reflects the corporate-readiness checks in engage4more's P.U.N.C.H.Y. comedian-vetting framework — personality fit, unheard material, and cost clarity among them — making his relatable, career-adjacent material a dependable fit for professional audiences.
For planners who want a seasoned, TEDx-recognized comedian whose material speaks directly to the everyday realities of working professionals, Manoj Prabakar is a distinctive, relatable choice.
