Pravanya Pillay is a stand up comedian, writer and producer. Described by Funny Women as “hilarious” Pravanya delivers surreal, observational comedy from a unique perspective.

She is the co-host and producer of Party - a trans/non-binary/female comedy night described by LMAOnaise as “the country’s finest night” and featured in The Guardian.
