This show is part of the Hong Kong Comedy Season 2026
Bad Indian is a darkly funny, emotionally raw solo show written and performed by Saaj Raja.
Following a series of sold-out London performances, Bad Indian comes to Soho House Hong Kong for one night only.
Raised in suburban Britain to become the “good Indian boy,” Saaj spends a lifetime trying to live up to everyone else’s expectations. But behind the perfect image lies a series of double lives: forbidden loves, the wrong career, and a talent for talking his way into rooms he had no business being in.
Blending storytelling, movement, sharp humour and vivid characterisation, Bad Indian follows Saaj’s journey from Crawley to the high-pressure trading floors of Hong Kong as the life he’s carefully constructed begins to unravel.
Bad Indian is an intimate exploration of identity, belonging and the pressures of living between cultures. It asks what happens when you stop performing the version of yourself everyone expects.
