Biography

Tarun Mohanbhai first began his comedy career at school entertaining his classmates. He then went on to perform all round New Zealand as one of New Zealand’s best Indian comics (possibly the only one at the time). Tarun has been a Billy T Nominee, previous Raw Winner and is a regular at The Classic Comedy Bar in Auckland. He has also performed in South Africa, United Kingdom, Australia, Malaysia, U.S.A and Canada. He has performed in multiple Galas and TV shows in his career and won Best Show in the New Zealand Comedy Festival before anyone heard of Netflix.

In recent years he has been touring the Seas with his unique comedy entertaining floating passengers as they overindulge in buffets.

Testimonials

"The crowds ranged from 150 up to 400 people at each event and we found Tarun to be a great entertainer at each event. He did a fantastic job of understanding the crowd we were presenting to and catered for that demographic very well. Tarun was relaxed, yet professional to deal with from our preparation meetings right through until our final Roadshow evening and I know the team here loved his spirit & teamwork. Panasonic wouldn’t hesitate to use Tarun again at any future events."

Tracey Royal, Panasonic Roadshow Co-ordinator
