A Little About Me
Neville Bharucha is an improv comedian, trainer, and teacher who’s been making people laugh (and think) for over a decade. He’s trained at some of the top improv schools in the world, primarily the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB)in New York and Los Angeles, and has performed and learnt across the globe — from London and New York to Baharain and Singapore
In India, Neville is known for being one of the primary individuals pushing the improv scene forward. He’s performed with and coached multiple top improvisers, and has run countless workshops for performers, companies, schools, and total beginners. He runs regular classes in Mumbai and often travels to different cities and conducts smaller workshops there as well.

My Work with kids
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages,

My Journey So Far
Along with this he has been teaching Creative Writing to children for nearly a decade. Has facilitated workshops across schools and currently holds regular online classes for kids across age groups.
When he’s not teaching or performing, Neville works as a marketing consultant given his 8 year stint in digital marketing. Also not to mention an actor in various TVCs and other projects, and the occasional stand-up comic after doing for 8 years earlier. He was also a teacher in the middle for a while teaching at some of Mumbai top schools and colleges.
More than anything, Neville loves building spaces where people can play, have fun and simply enjoy expressing themselves. For now at least!
