About Shaad Shafi

Shaad Shafi is a Delhi-based stand-up comedian and writer known for his rare, sharp one-liner style — a format only a handful of Indian comedians work in. He started doing comedy at 19, initially without fully knowing what stand-up even was, driven by an early interest in comedy writing that he hoped would one day lead him to write for a show like Saturday Night Live.

When corporate event planners evaluate his live sets, applying the PUNCHY comedy framework shows how Shaad's tightly-written one-liners and self-deprecating honesty create a distinctive, highly quotable comedic experience that stands out from typical storytelling-heavy sets. Backed by engage4more's experience across 5,000+ corporate events, booking Shaad brings a comedy writer with real industry credentials — not just a performer, but someone whose writing has shaped major shows — to corporate functions, leadership events, and client entertainment.

Beyond stand-up, Shaad has written for Hotstar's “On Air with AIB,” MX Player's “Kiski Sarkar,” Insider's “Daily Quizzes,” Colors Infinity's “The Inventor Challenge,” and Amazon Prime's “Amazon Funnies – 10 Minute Stand-ups.” His YouTube content has been well received by both audiences and fellow comedians, built almost entirely around a rare one-liner comedic voice drawing on family jokes, everyday habits, and honest self-deprecation — material his own family reportedly finds “highly unnecessary.”

Known for his natural stage charm, energetic delivery, and quick-witted material, Shaad keeps his comedy clean, workplace-friendly, and easily personalized for corporate audiences. His combination of writing pedigree and rare comedic format makes him a distinctive, dependable choice for organizers seeking sharp, professional-grade humor for employee meets, festive parties, and client-facing events.
