Navin Noronha is one of India’s most prolific queer voices, having pioneered the queer comedy scene in the country. With nearly a decade of performing and touring, Navin uses his humor to challenge the mindsets of bigots, one joke at a time. In 2020, he became one of the first Indian queer artists to tour Australia, and in 2024, he expanded his reach by touring across Europe.
In addition to stand-up, Navin curates and hosts Queer-Rated Comedy, a show spotlighting LGBTQ+ performers. He actively contributes to queer representation in the media through his writing for Vice and his podcasts Keeping it Queer and Queer Vibes Only. He was also a writer and consultant for the Amazon Prime series Rainbow Rishta, which earned a GLAAD award nomination in New York. Beyond comedy, Navin has written the horror short film The Cradle and the comedy short Foodgasm.
