Comedian Zakir Khan headlines MSG: Where to buy tickets

Featured pricing is subject to change. Zakir Khan is about to make comedy history. On Sunday, Aug. 17, the Indore native will become the first stand-up to headline a show in Hindi at New York City's Madison Square Garden. 'Comedy is deeply rooted in context, and much of that context doesn't translate well across languages,' the 37-year-old funnyman explained to The Post in an exclusive interview. 'Since I'm sharing stories from my childhood and personal experiences, it's most authentic for me to express them in my native language, Hindi.' Advertisement The Big Apple night is just one small part of the gifted storyteller's mammoth ongoing North American arena tour. Following the MSG gig, he has 12 more shows lined up in the U.S. and Canada including a pair at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena on Sunday, Aug. 24. And, yes, he has some tricks up his sleeve. 'It's a guest-heavy tour featuring legends and friends who will be supporting me at the shows at Madison Square Garden and Scotiabank Arena,' Khan teased. 'It's a surprise worth keeping a secret till the time I bring them on stage. It is one of the biggest nights of my life and I want to celebrate stand up comedy with my audience and make it as memorable as possible for them.' If you've exhausted Khan's five Amazon Prime specials and are craving something new, tickets are still available for all upcoming shows on the run from August through October. Advertisement Just be prepared for the adventure of a lifetime. 'It's an emotion-filled rollercoaster ride, one that leaves everyone in splits but also leaves everyone with some food for thought,' he noted.

Below, you'll find a lightly edited version of our chat. What does performing at Madison Square Garden mean to you? Honestly, I wasn't sure how I'd get here—but I always imagined that I would. I've explored so many forms of expression over the years: music, radio, theater. Comedy ended up being the path that carried me forward, but I've always felt drawn to the stage in some form. What's your favorite story from the road? One particularly memorable experience was when I was scheduled to perform at the Beacon Theatre in New York. My flight from Chicago to New York was cancelled at the last minute, and because it was St. Patrick's Day weekend, almost every other flight was fully booked. I ended up taking a 5:30 AM connecting flight from Chicago to Detroit, then from Detroit to Washington, and finally drove all the way to New York. I got stuck in traffic at the New York–New Jersey tunnel and reached the venue just seven minutes before I was supposed to go on stage. It was a chaotic journey, but one I'll never forget. Will you be doing new material at this show? Each time I go back to a city, it's always a new show. This one too is a new show and very close to my heart. This is the 4th special I'm bringing to the USA and each time I come here, I end up wanting to perform a newer show immediately. Advertisement Is there any joke you're particularly excited to perform in the States and Canada? Nothing in particular honestly. I have stories that are four to five hours long, and depending on the room and audience, I get into the rhythm of my art form and try to take everyone on a journey with me. Is this your first time performing in NYC? If not, where have you gone up? I have performed multiple times in NYC before. We started with a dream when we were touring through the U.S. for the first time back in 2018, which eventually led to a goal for us- which was performing at The Garden. In New York, we started with The Town Hall, then Beacon Theatre, after that was The Theatre at MSG and now we're due to perform at The Arena. It was strategically planned and we made our way through these to ensure we're doing it the right way. Advertisement What's next for you? That's a great question. In fact, my team and I have been thinking about what to do after announcing shows like these. Once we announced our sold-out show at The Royal Albert Hall in London, we knew Madison Square Garden was the next sensible step. But what does one do after performing at The World's Most Famous Arena? I'm yet to comprehend. I may start doing shows that are more intimate, I may take a break. For now, I'm only imagining what me and the thousands of others with me are going to feel like on 17th of August. Who are some of your favorite comics working in the US these days? There are so many, but the ones I look up to the most are John Mulaney, Taylor Tomlinson, Nate Bargatze, Hannah Gadsby, Dave Chappelle, Ronny Chieng, Russell Peters and Hasan Minhaj. Hindi comedians on tour in 2025 Advertisement If Khan isn't headed to your neck of the woods in the near future, you need not worry. Many iconic Indian comedians will be out and about these next few months. Here are just five of our favorites you won't want to miss live. • Hasan Minhaj • Zarna Garg Advertisement • Russell Peters • Usama Siddiquee • Hari Kondabalu Plus, you won't want to miss A.R.

17 Sitcom Couples Who'd Be Longg Divorced IRL
Let's be real: some sitcom couples only work because they're fictional. We're not talking about the Chandler and Monicas — those two will last forever in our hearts. We're talking about the couples that would've collapsed very easily if they weren't left in the confines of a 25-minute episode full of laughing tracks. Over on Reddit, TV fans are sharing the sitcom couples that would totally be divorced or broken up IRL, and the responses are painfully accurate. Even better, some users added the breaking point that led to their ultimate split. Here's some of the funniest and brutally valid takes: "Mitch and Cam on Modern Family. The constant bickering and manipulation just got unbearable to watch. I don't know If there would be a breaking point, but more of a build up — any episode after season five would've been enough to end it." "Homer and Marge from The Simpsons. That one episode where they show how much better off Marge would've been if she hadn't married Homer? They played it off as a joke but we see of their relationship is Homer constantly being a selfish, neglectful, and sometimes dangerous partner. WHY DO THEY STAY TOGETHER?" "Boy Meets World: Cory and Topanga — they have zero things in common." "Leonard and Penny from The Big Bang Theory. They have nothing in common and she's constantly making fun of his nerd hobbies. He's only with her for her looks and he doesn't support her dreams or decisions. The breaking point: When he cheated on her during his North Sea expedition and didn't tell her about it until they were on their way to their Vegas elopement." "Ross and Rachel from Friends really did love each other but they never work out for very long. Although they reunited in the finale, if they married one day, it would be yet another divorce for Ross." "Definitely Doug and Carrie [from The King of Queens] would be divorced. I can think of about 50 reasons why she should've divorced him by midway through the series. When he sabotaged her trying to make new work friends and gaslighted her about it — that definitely would have been the breaking point! I would have started throwing all his shit out the window." "George & Angie from The George Lopez Show. She was smarter and he was always putting her down or telling her to shut up. Plus, he let his mom be mean to her. That relationship pissed me off since the beginning." "Pam and Jim from The Office. Something tells me their dirty laundry airing on TV would open up some wounds." "Dre and Rainbow from Blackish. I hated how Dre's another momma's boy who would constantly talk down to Rainbow and her family. But if she said anything about Ruby, he would flip. He told her she could quit her job and when she did, he had a problem with it. I couldn't finish the series, he just got too annoying." "Becky and Jesse on Full House. So much of their marriage revolved around raising those three girls. I could see a weird version of empty nest syndrome destroying their relationship." "Marshall and Lily [from How I Met Your Mother] make me crazy because while I understand her motives early on for the California stuff, the final season unwinding their relationship made me so annoyed by her." "Jay and Michael from My Wife and Kids end up seeming like a good couple with a good family. But when you watch more, you see some really garbage things. Michael is horribly unsupportive, bullies his son for his intelligence, and is extremely overprotective of his daughter. I think the last straw would be when he confesses that he's been having sex with Jay while she's asleep because she wakes up with her underwear off. That always made me feel weirdly sick to my stomach for such a light-hearted show." "Niles on Frasier probably eventually divorced Daphne because during their courtship and marriage, she grew increasingly mean and bossy. She quickly changed from being anything like the Daphne he used to silently love. " "Ray and Debra from Everybody Loves Raymond. Debs just gotta be so tired of the shit that stupid idiot man-child pulls." "I'm watching Married with Children right now. It's like a toxic co-dependency. They constantly fight, but they can't separate because they've built their identities around the dysfunction. And I mean, who else will want them?" "Martin and Gina from Martin — the breaking point would have been his mom. Martin was a total momma's boy who never stood up for Gina. Or the first proposal he gave her when she was leaving. Quote: 'will you marry me Gina, damn.'" "Every single couple on Rules of Engagement. They all lie to each other constantly. It's like marriage is a competition." Let's face it, most sitcom couples wouldn't make it in real life. After all, the drama, miscommunication, and the huge red flags are great for TV — but awful for an actual relationship. If any of these couples are your faves, it's best to take these with a grain of salt. 💔💔 Which sitcom couple do you think would've broken up IRL? Let us know in the comments!💬💬 For more TV hot takes, check out BuzzFeed Canada on TikTok and Instagram!

Celebrities Whose Partners Didn't Know They Were Famous
It sounds like something out of a fanfiction — you fall in love with a beautiful stranger who just so happens to be famous. While it sounds more like a trope than true-to-life, it's surprisingly more common than you'd think! Here are 19 celebs whose partners had no idea they were famous: Maggie Gyllenhaal's husband, fellow actor Peter Sarsgaard, told People, "I met Maggie at a dinner [in 2001], and I didn't even know she was an actress. I knew nothing about her, but it was instant. Then Secretary came out maybe six months later, and I was like, 'Oh, whoa. Okay. She's not like any other actress in the world.'" Olivia Munn and NFL player Aaron Rodgers dated from 2014-2017, but she "had no idea" who he was at first. She told Conan, "When I met him, I said, 'So what do you do?' And he said, 'Oh, I play football.' And I go, 'Cool. What college?' He's like, 'Oh, no. I play professional.' And I was like, 'Cool, what position?' He's like, 'Quarterback.' 'Cool.' That was kind of it, not knowing that he's, you know, Super Bowl MVP or any of those things, but all I saw was that he was, like, really attractive. I didn't really care what he did. I was like, 'You are such a big man!'" Likewise, Aaron Rodgers's ex-fiancé, Shailene Woodley, whom he was got engaged to in 2021 but broke up with in 2022, wasn't really familiar with his career when they first met. She told The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, "I never thought I'd be engaged to someone who threw balls for a living. I never thought as a little girl, 'Yeah, when I grow up, I'm going to marry someone who throws balls, yeah!' But he's really just so good at it, and I'm very impressed... Before I met him, I'd never seen one football game before." She continued, "I didn't really grow up with sports, especially American sports. It was never really on my radar. When we met, also, I knew he was a football guy, but I didn't know what kind of a football guy he was... I don't know him as a football guy. I know him as, like, the nerd who wants to host Jeopardy. … He just happens to also be very good at sports." Tom Pelphrey didn't realize that his fiancé, Kaley Cuoco, starred in The Big Bang Theory — which was extremely popular, long-running, and multi-award winning — until his mom's partner kept calling her by her character's name. He actually "hadn't seen Kaley in anything" because he "was living in upstate New York, on a dirt road, in the middle of the woods, without much Wi-Fi" before they met. Tom told W magazine, "When I first brought Kaley to New Jersey to meet my family and friends, my mom's partner — who apparently was a Big Bang Theory fan — was there, and he kept calling her Penny. I had no clue what was going on. So I pulled Kaley aside, like, 'I'm sorry, I don't understand what's happening. Why does he keep calling you Penny?' She's like, 'That's my character in The Big Bang Theory.' I was completely unaware. I've watched a few episodes with her since, and, obviously, she's fantastic." When Richard Gere and his wife, publicist and political activist Alejandra Gere, first crossed paths, she knew he was famous, but she mistook him for a different celebrity! He told Elle Spain, "She had no idea who I was when we met. None. She didn't see movies, which was great. I was very happy about that." Alejandra cut in, "No, wait a minute. Richard, I knew who you were. I didn't see many of your movies." He added, "She thought I was George Clooney, but other than that, she knew exactly who I was." In 1976, Henry Winkler and his wife, publicist Stacey Weitzman, met at a Beverly hills clothing store. He told People, "She was wearing purple parachute pants, and she had red hair, and without her even saying a word, I thought, 'Woah, beautiful woman standing in front of me.' I came back to the store the next week, and [she] was there. And within 10 minutes, I learned how strong she is. I said, 'Would you like to go for a soda? I just have to make a quick stop to buy a wedding gift.' And she said, 'I am not a gift service!' But then she changed her mind, and we went across the street and had ginger ales." At the time, Henry was in his third season of starring as Fonzie on Happy Days, but Stacey had no clue. He told AARP Magazine, "She wanted to go to the movies. And I told her that might be difficult. She wanted to know why. I said, 'I don't know how to describe it to you.' When we got to the theater, I told her we should sit in the back. She didn't understand, so we sat in the middle of the theater. And the entire theater came over and said hello. And Stacey said, 'Oh!'" Simone Biles met her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, on the celebrity dating app Raya. He "honestly didn't know who she was" because he "never really watched gymnastics before [he] first started talking to her." On Simone's Facebook Watch docuseries, he said, "That's how I would tell people, and they're like, 'Simone Biles?! You for real, the gymnast?!' And I'm like, 'Man, she's good like that?!' Like I didn't [know]." Serena Williams first met her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, when he sat at the breakfast table next to hers at a hotel in Italy. Annoyed that he didn't pick one of the many empty tables further away, one of her friends told him he shouldn't sit there because there was a rat. She told Vanity Fair, "We were trying to get him to move and get out of there. He kind of refuses, and he looks at us. And he's like, 'Is there really a rat here?' 'No, we just don't want you sitting there. We're going to use that table.' 'I'm from Brooklyn. I see rats all the time.' 'Oh, you're not afraid of rats?' 'No.'" At that moment, Alexis was "98 percent sure" who she was. However, he'd "never watched a match on television or in real life." He told VF, "It was literally the sport — even if ESPN was announcing tennis updates, I would just zone out... I really had no respect for tennis." They talked about the tech conference he was in town to speak at, and though she didn't know what Reddit was, she pretended she did and claimed she'd been on it that very morning. They changed topics to her website, which he offered to help with. Her agent invited him to that night's tennis match, and he and Serena better connected when she later invited him to another match in Paris. Shaun White "actually didn't know anything about" his fiancé, Nina Dobrev, when they both presented at an event in Florida in 2019. Afterwards, they grabbed food together. He told People, "The place was packed. And she was like, 'Let me go see if I can get a table.'" As she spoke with the blushing host, Shaun wondered to himself if Nina had told her, "There's an old gold medalist over there who wants a table." However, when a group of employees walked over, they asked, "Can we get a photo ... with her?" Shaun said, "And I was like, 'What's happening? What's going on?' It was actually really funny." When Kristen Bell first met her husband, Dax Shepard, at a mutual friend's birthday dinner, he'd recently risen to fame on Punk'd. However, unaware of who he was, she wondered, "Is that one of the guys from Jackass or something?" On Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist, she said, "The only thing I remember is that he talked so much... There were no sparks whatsoever... Two weeks later, we both met at a hockey game... We saw each to flirt. Then a day after that, I get a text that says, 'Hi, my name is Dax. I violated your privacy and got your number from Shauna [Robertson]. How do you feel about that?' And I was like, 'Excuse me? You sound stimulating.'" Model and designer Camila Alves knew who Matthew McConaughey was and had seen his movies, but when he came into the West Hollywood club where she was hanging out, she didn't recognize him. She told Access Hollywood, "We had two interactions at the bar. The first interaction, I did not know who he was. At the time, he had a really long beard, and he had this Rasta hat. He was all covered up, and I didn't really realize who he was." However, she realized who he was after spotting Lance Armstrong, Matthew's close friend at the time. She continued, "Lance came to talk to me. You knew they were always together, so I'm like, OK, I'm outta here. I'm going to the other side of the room!" Even though she moved away, she caught his eye. Matthew told The Howard Stern Show, "So I'm healthily single at a club on Sunset. I'm not even a club guy, but this night I was a club guy. And I'm making margaritas at the end of the table, and this figure moves across the room, and I remember to myself, I go, 'What is that?' I didn't say, 'Who is that?' I said 'What is that?' ...She sits down, and I can't get my eyes off her, and I'm waving, trying to get [her attention], 'Hey, over there!' Finally catch her eye, and as soon as she looks at me, the Jiminy Cricket in me says, 'Boy, get off your ass, this is not the type of woman you call across the room.' I go over and introduce myself. I do the smart thing of inviting her and her friends over." Alexa PenaVega and her husband, Big Time Rush member Carlos PenaVega, met at a Bible study at their mutual friend's house. Their friend had invited Alexa, but Carlos had actually been invited by an ex he was hoping to rekindle a relationship with. Carlos told The War Cry, "I had known of Alexa, but she was just 'that chick from Spy Kids.' She had no idea who I was, though, and when we first met, I was completely smitten. I became so nervous I actually started quoting Spy Kids, which did not work because she told our mutual friend I was so weird." Their friend had actually been trying to get them to meet for years! Alexa said, "It was our mutual friend, Andrew, who invited us. I've known him since I was 13 years old, and Carlos has known him since he was 18, and all this time, Andrew would tell us that we were very compatible. He would always say things like, 'You have to meet. You two just have to meet,' but the timing never worked out. We were either in other relationships or just not ready to date at all. So, Andrew had invited me to his Bible study quite a few times. It was a Bible study at his house that he led, and just this one particular time, I decided, 'You know what? I'll go check it out,' and this is after a couple years of him having this Bible study, that I finally decided to go. It just so happened to be the night Carlos showed up as well." Hairdresser Danielle Jonas "didn't know who the Jonas Brothers were" when she met her husband, Kevin Jonas, on a family vacation in the Bahamas in 2007. After they first crossed paths, he saw her walking down the beach, a flower tucked in her hair, and decided to pursue a relationship with her. During his best man's toast at their 2007 wedding, Kevin's brother Joe reportedly said, "I'm the one responsible for getting them together. I hit on Danielle first." Lena Dunham's husband, musician Luis Felber, "had to Google" her before their blind date. He told The Sunday Times, "Then I went on her Instagram, and I saw her dancing to a song called 'Red Hot Pussy' in her garden in LA. Lena puts herself out there in a really special way. That was all I had to go on at the time." Rapper Cordae dated Naomi Osaka from 2019-2025, but, when they met at an LA Clippers basketball game, he wasn't aware she was a huge tennis star. He told GQ, "It's not my sport. If you asked me about tennis, before being immersed in it because of Naomi, I could only give you Venus and Serena Williams, you know? Because they're just a part of the culture." Julianna Marguilies was already known for her starring role on ER when she met her husband, attorney Keith Lieberthal. She told People, "He honestly didn't know who I was. I mean, if he had seen my work, he didn't know. He was in law school. I was like, 'There's a couple movies I don't want you to see.'" Alfonso Ribeiro met his wife, blogger Angela Unkrich, at a hotel in Beverly Hills. In a joint interview, she told Yahoo Lifestyle, "I called him my stalker. I didn't know who he was at the time. He told me he was a director, which you were. And I was very much in the 'I don't want to date anyone in entertainment' [phase]." After he made "first, second, third moves," she agreed to go out with him and made a reservation at a restaurant. However, unbeknownst to him, she actually planned to ditch the date early so she could go home and watch the new Grey's Anatomy. She said, "I don't think it was more than 10 minutes that went by, and I was like, 'Huh, he's different than I thought.'" Lily Allen and her husband, David Harbour, whom she separated from in 2025, met when they matched on Raya. She told the Jonathan Ross Show, "It was the first time I'd been on this dating app. I was scrolling through and landed on David's profile and pressed accept. I didn't know who he was. I thought he was just, like, a sexy policeman from a reality TV show. He was wearing a policeman's uniform. It was a still from Stranger Things. I'd never seen Stranger Things." And finally, while Michael Cera was promoting Arrested Development in Paris, he met his wife, Nadine Cera, in a bar. In Paris to study, she had no clue who Michael was. He told the Guardian, "We trip out about that all the time. It's completely unlikely that we would ever meet... She thought I was Swedish until we spoke. I didn't know if she would speak English, and if we would even have a chance to talk, and it was very lucky that she did because we wouldn't have a son, we wouldn't have a relationship."
