New Delhi: More than 50 stand-up comedians, including Anubhav Singh Bassi, Ravi Gupta, Harsh Gujral and Aashish Solanki, will perform at The Big Lineup 2026 in Gurugram on Sunday, August 2, with fuel-technology company Nawgati joining the event as a co-powering partner.
Organised by Oriole Entertainment, the comedy showcase will also feature Devesh Dixit, Appurv Gupta, Gurleen Pannu, Madhur Virli and Rajat Chauhan, among several other performers.
The event is being positioned as one of the largest stand-up comedy lineups staged in the city, bringing together artists known for storytelling, observational humour and audience interaction. With more than 50 performers sharing the billing, keeping the microphone — and the schedule — under control may be nearly as challenging as delivering the punchlines.
Announcing the association, Vaibhav Kaushik, Co-Founder and CEO of Nawgati, said: “There’s something special about live comedy: the energy in the room, the shared laughter, the way a good story can bring strangers together for a couple of hours. It’s a space we genuinely enjoy being part of. Being able to co-power this evening felt like a natural fit for us, simply because we believe in supporting experiences that bring people joy. With a lineup this size and this talented, we know audiences are in for a memorable evening, and we’re looking forward to being part of that.”
The partnership marks Nawgati’s attempt to expand its public presence beyond the mobility and fuel-infrastructure sector by associating with cultural events aimed at younger urban audiences.
Nawgati operates a fuel-discovery and mobility-infrastructure network across Indian cities. The company said it has focused on addressing everyday mobility-related challenges while gradually expanding the reach of its platform.
The association also reflects a broader trend of technology and mobility companies using entertainment events to connect with consumers outside their core business environments. For Gurugram audiences, however, the immediate proposition is considerably simpler: an evening featuring dozens of comedians and, presumably, very little time for an awkward silence.
