Adi Parmar: Sunny Boy

Mad Cow Comedy presents Solos at the Shed; a series of great solo shows in the most intimate of venues! On Friday 6th February, join us for "Sunny Boy" by Adi Parmer.

About the Show:

When Adi Parmar (gay) moved to the Netherlands (gezellig), fatherhood was the last thing on his mind. He believed expectations of marriage and family were left behind in India, making space for queer freedom, self-discovery, and ambition. But a relationship unexpectedly introduces him to a parental role he never planned for, forcing Adi to confront his complicated relationship with his own father and the behavioral patterns he had long ignored (gasp).

Moving between cultures, generations, and conflicting expectations, often all at once, Sunny Boy is Adi’s attempt to make sense of identity and belonging, using the one tool he trusts most: stand-up comedy.

About Adi Parmar:

Adi Parmar is an Amsterdam-based comedian who began his comedy journey with improv at Boom Chicago, where he completed all levels of training and performed in multiple student showcases. He later transitioned to stand-up comedy, which has been his main focus for the past year and a half.

In June 2024, Adi won the Newbie Comedian of the Year competition for English-speaking comedians in the Netherlands. He is now a regular on the Amsterdam comedy circuit, performing at venues across the city.

Adi has already performed his solo show in Amsterdam at Boom Chicago and Droog, as well as in Berlin, and is planning to take the show internationally to the Adelaide Fringe and the Glasgow International Comedy Festival in 2026
