Ansari will perform his latest show “Road to Nowhere” in Mumbai and Delhi on May 24 and 26.
Indian American actor, comedian, producer and writer Aziz Ansari is all set to make his first ever tour of India this summer.
Ansari, known for his Oscar and Emmy-winning Netflix series Master of None and several hit shows, will be performing at his parents’ native land for the first time ever. His debut tour will kick off in Mumbai, after which he will have a show in Delhi, before moving southward to Australia.
During his India tour, Ansari will be performing his latest show, Road to Nowhere. Ansari began his tour in February this year, after what can be described as a tumultuous 2018, during which he faced a sexual misconduct allegation by a woman.

Ansari, who shot to fame with his role as Tom Haverford in NBC series Parks and Recreation, is the first ever Asian American to win an Oscar for his role in an American TV series. But long before Ansari became the poster boy of brown men on American television, he started getting noticed for his stand-up comic acts that he used to perform in New York City while still attending university.
Included in the TIME magazines’ list of “100 Most Influential People” in 2016, Ansari brings along his rib-tickling commentary and observations on everyday situations.
Ansari was born in Columbia, South Carolina, to immigrant parents in the US who emigrated from Tamil Nadu in India.
