By her own admission Neeti says that she turns her tragedies into comedy while tickling your funny bone in the bargain. Certainly a good place to be when there aren’t too many funny women taking the stand in stand-up comedy.

A lot of issues make their way into her brand of humour, women in India, ‘desi’ craziness, things that piss her off to an all-time favourite, poking fun at men which has led to even more ammunition every time she gets trolled.

Voted as the best Stand Up Comic at the Oz Fest, Neeti was also the first stand-up comedian to  play to a packed house at the Melbourne Comedy Festival 2013.

Loony Goons, a comic collective started by Neeti, gets the best comic acts across the country to get people to laugh at themselves.

Hell hath no fury like a funny woman with a point of view!

Moto salutes the Shatterproof spirit of these women.
