Eshaan has performed three sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as well as sell-out London transfers at London’s prestigious Soho Theatre. He has opened for Micky Flanagan and has supported the likes of Jason Manford, Sindhu Vee, Adam Rowe, Dan Nightingale, Kae Kurd, Tez Ilyas, Dane Baptiste, Hal Cruttenden, Jan Ravens and Rory Bremner on tour.

With all this amazing experience, he is finally ready to bring us his debut tour. Whether you, the person you go on a date with, your boss, or the opinion-makers on TV, we’re all pretending we know what we’re doing. We don’t. And it’s about time we all had a proper laugh about it.

With support from Alexander Bennett

Alexander Bennett

Alexander Bennett's comedy has been variously described as dark, silly, filthy and thoughtful. He has numerous Edinburgh Fringe runs under his belt, has filmed several stand-up specials and he created the cult hit comedy game show Hell To Play. He has recently started his new podcast Born Yesterday ​with comedian Andy Barr.



He was a key player in Mark Watson’s Comedy Marathon, was nominated at the Leicester Comedy Awards as part of Consignia and co-orchestrated a huge charity event at the Pleasance Grand in Edinburgh called Dan Vs Food, in which a cast of 25+ comedians (including Phil Wang, Ed Gamble, Iain Stirling, Nick Helm, Sophie Duker and Ivo Graham) watched a man called Dan eat his lunch. He has recently appeared on Radio 4 and The Comedian's Comedian podcast.
