If you’ve spent any time scrolling through Instagram Reels lately, you’ve likely encountered a man who manages to mix the soul of a poet with the razor-sharp wit of a neighborhood roaster. That’s Vikas Kush Sharma for you. Known for his viral “modern shayar” persona, Vikas is bringing his latest comedy special, “Halki Halki Fati?”, to the heart of South Delhi at the prestigious NCUI Auditorium.
At Graphisads, we’ve spent over 50 years watching the cultural landscape of Delhi evolve. From the grand hoardings of the 70s to the digital performance campaigns of today, we’ve seen how entertainment trends shift. Right now, the capital is hungry for something more than just “setup-punchline” jokes. We want relatability, we want interaction, and we definitely want a bit of poetry.
The Rise of the “Modern Shayar”
Vikas Kush Sharma isn’t your typical stand-up comedian. While most artists rely on a rigid script, Vikas has mastered the art of the “Modern Shayar.” He blends the rhythmic beauty of Urdu and Hindi poetry with the gritty, often hilarious reality of living in a 21st-century Indian city.
But it’s not just about the shayari. Vikas is a powerhouse when it comes to crowd-work. For the uninitiated, crowd-work is the ultimate high-wire act of comedy: no script, no safety net, just the comedian and the audience. Whether he’s dissecting the dynamics of a couple in the front row or roasting someone’s unusual job, his ability to create “pure, unfiltered stand-up” in the moment is what sets him apart.
“Halki Halki Fati?”: What’s the Buzz?
The tour title itself, “Halki Halki Fati?”, captures that quintessential nervous energy we all feel: the “just a little bit scared” vibe that comes with adulting, dating, or even just sitting in the front row of a comedy show.
Key Details for the Delhi Show:
- Start Date: Saturday, April 18, 2026
- Venue: NCUI Auditorium & Convention Centre, August Kranti Marg, New Delhi
- Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes of non-stop laughter
- Language: A seamless blend of Hindi and English
- Pricing: Starting from just ₹499 (making it one of the most accessible high-quality shows in the city)
- Age Limit: 16+ years
This isn’t just a show; it’s a social experiment where you are the subject. Because each crowd-work session is organic, no two shows are ever the same. If you go on April 18th, you’re getting a one-of-a-kind experience that will never be replicated.
Why NCUI Auditorium is the Place to Be
As a company that manages and promotes key venues and outdoor media sites in Delhi, we know that the venue makes the event. The NCUI Auditorium & Convention Centre on August Kranti Marg is a gem in the Siri Institutional Area.
With a 600-person capacity, it offers the perfect middle ground between an intimate club and a massive stadium. You’re close enough to the stage to be part of Vikas’s crowd-work, but the space is grand enough to feel like a “big night out.” The acoustics are world-class, ensuring that every poetic nuance and every sharp-witted comeback is heard clearly even in the balcony seats.
Plus, its location is unbeatable. Situated right near the Siri Fort area, it’s easily accessible for the Gen Z and Millennial crowd coming from South Delhi hubs like GK, Hauz Khas, and Saket.
Graphisads: Bringing the Stage to the Streets
You might wonder why a 360° advertising agency like Graphisads is so excited about a comedy show. The answer is simple: we believe in the power of live communication. Our heritage is built on outdoor advertising, and there is nothing quite like seeing a massive billboard on the Ring Road or a gantry at a metro station announcing a cultural event that brings people together.
For the “Halki Halki Fati?” tour, we’ve leveraged our extensive OOH network: including billboards at GK-1 Pamposh Enclave and Africa Avenue: to ensure that every comedy enthusiast in the city knows where the party is.
We don’t just put up posters; we build anticipation. For brands and event organizers, our role as a full-service agency means we handle everything from the initial media planning and buying to the final execution on the ground. When you see a show filling up at NCUI, there’s a high chance our team has been working behind the scenes to make it a household name.
A Night Out for the Digital Generation
For Gen Z and Millennials, entertainment is about authenticity. They can see through a rehearsed script from a mile away. That’s why Vikas Kush Sharma’s style resonates so deeply. It’s unpolished in the best way possible: it’s real.
His “Modern Shayari” tackles the anxieties of the digital age:
- The heartbreak of being left on ‘read’.
- The struggle of the 9-to-5 grind.
- The absurdity of modern dating apps.
It’s poetry for people who don’t necessarily like poetry, and it’s comedy for people who want more than just a joke: they want a connection.
Secure Your Spot
With tickets starting at just ₹499, the Delhi show at NCUI is expected to sell out fast. In an era where a single movie ticket and popcorn can cost upwards of ₹1,000, getting a front-row seat to one of the most exciting names in Indian comedy is an absolute steal.
How to get there:
If you’re driving, NCUI has ample parking. If you’re taking the Delhi Metro, the Green Park or Hauz Khas stations are your best bets, followed by a quick auto-ride through the scenic August Kranti Marg.
Book your tickets now via BookMyShow or the official tour links.
At Graphisads, we are proud to support the vibrant arts and culture scene in Delhi. Whether it’s through our event management services or our vast outdoor media inventory, we are committed to making sure the best talent gets the biggest stage.
See you at the show: and if you’re sitting in the front row, keep your shayari ready!
