Kharadi Late Nights is a loose, late-evening stand-up series, where emerging comics test sharp, unfiltered material in a close setting. Expect spontaneous riffs, risky punchlines and the kind of raw energy you don’t get at polished corporate shows.

Wheel Therapy: A Weekend Pottery Intensive (Art workshop)
