Zakir Khan is taking his signature storytelling a little closer to home with his upcoming stand-up special Papa Yaar. Blending nostalgia, family anecdotes and plenty of humour, the special turns the comedian’s relationship with his father into the heart of a deeply personal set.

Zakir Khan gets personal

Papa Yaar looks beyond the usual stand-up punchlines to explore how a child’s relationship with a parent can change with age. What once feels like authority and restriction can, years later, turn into understanding, friendship and gratitude.
