Rajiv Karia : Man Alive

Man Alive is a stand-up comedy show by Rajiv Karia, staged at Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds. It covers marriage, city life and the question of whether the comedian can become a brown uncle.

Man Alive is a stand-up show in which Rajiv Karia turns to large personal questions: why a person turns out as they do, when life starts to make sense, and where the phone charger has gone. The material moves through getting married, life in the city and whether Karia has what it takes to become a brown uncle.

Karia has worked as a producer on The News Quiz and created Zoners, the BAFTA-nominated comedy on BBC Three. The comedian has also been heard on Evil Genius with Russell Kane and on One Person Found This Helpful on BBC Radio 4. Olga Koch and Rhys James support the tour.

Reviewers have described the set as observant and self-deprecating, with Broadway World praising its warmth and wit, and Chortle describing Karia as relaxed and easy to listen to. The show takes place at Hyde Park Book Club, a concert and performance venue in Leeds.
