Bio
Aditi Mittal is a talented stand-up comedian, actress, and writer from India. She stands out as one of the pioneering women in the Indian stand-up comedy scene, and The Times of India has recognized her as one of the top ten comedians in the country. Additionally, NIBN.com highlighted her as one of the thirty "witty, intelligent, and incredibly fun" Indian women to follow on Twitter. Mittal has contributed her writing to various publications, including Grazia Men, DNA, Firstpost, and the Financial Times' Weekend Edition in the UK. She has gained significant recognition in the Indian English comedy landscape, particularly in North and West India.
In 2009, she was among the first five Indians to perform in a stand-up show aimed exclusively at Indians, called Local Heroes, organized by The Comedy Store in the UK. Today, she regularly performs at venues like Canvas Laugh Factory and Comedy Store in Mumbai and has taken the stage at comedy festivals across the country, as well as clubs in the UK and the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles. In 2013, she received an invitation from the BBC to participate in the esteemed 100 Women Conference in London. That same year, she debuted her solo show, "Things they wouldn’t let me say," in July at Canvas Laugh Factory in Mumbai. This show featured appearances by a sex therapist named Dr. Mrs. Lutchuke and the thoughtful Bollywood starlet Dolly Khurana.
Mittal has also been featured alongside American and South African comics in the documentary "Stand-Up Planet," which explores humor from the developing world. She has made appearances on CNN-IBN's "Phenking News" with Cyrus Broacha and is a familiar face on the political satire show "Jay Hind." As one of the founders of the Ghanta Awards and the Filmfail Awards, she has played a significant role in two of India's most popular parody award shows. Her appearances include "Ripping the Decade" with Vir Das, the "Fools Gold Awards" on Comedy Central India, and "Bollywood OMG" on Channel V. The BBC has featured her in segments about “India’s trailblazers,” and she has appeared on BBC Asia with RJ Nihal. Mittal's comedy is often described as sharp and thought-provoking, covering a wide range of topics from Osama bin Laden to sanitary napkins, and from toddlers to Miss India winners. She describes her humor as personal and observational.
She created the character of Dr. (Mrs.) Lutchuke due to her dissatisfaction with how the media portrayed sex. Mittal has spoken at various events, including India's first Sex Exposition organized by India Today, WIFT India (Women in Film and Television), and at the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad, as well as at comedy festivals across the nation. Fluent in both English and Hindi, she also understands some French and Spanish. Mittal firmly believes that humor can lighten serious situations. Inspired by comedians like Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig, she transitioned into stand-up comedy after leaving her job in New York and moving to India, drawn by the growing interest in the art form. By the end of 2013 and in October 2014, she was included in the BBC's list of 100 women.
In December 2014, Mittal participated in the roast panel of the AIB Knockout. In February, she was a guest on BBC Radio 4's "The Now Show." Her YouTube series, "Bad Girls," shines a light on women activists, with the first episode released in February 2017, featuring activist Nidhi Goyal. In 2024, Mittal appeared in "James May's Our Man in India." However, in 2018, she faced accusations of sexual harassment from comedian Kaneez Surka, who claimed that Mittal had kissed her without consent. Mittal denied the allegations and later explained that the kiss was intended as a joke during an open mic act. She acknowledged that she apologized to Surka once she realized the discomfort she had caused.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need security for my event if I hire a celebrity?
Yes, the celebrity may require you to hire unarmed police or private esecurity. It depends on the status of the chosen celebrity and the type of event. The artist needs protection and everyone’s reputation is in jeopardy if they are not reasonably protected. Sometimes the celebrity will bring their own bodyguard.
Will I have to pay for the celebrity’s hotel, travel and food?
Most of the time the celebrity will expect general food and beverage accommodations for the duration of the event. In more complex bookings, they may want to be fed from the day of arrival to the day of departure. Additionally, hotels and transportation should be provided unless a buyout is included in the offer being submitted before you book a celebrity.
Will I get my money back after I have hired a celebrity and my event is canceled?
If your event is canceled sometimes you can receive a refund or a credit toward future or rescheduled performance in the event of a force majeure. Other times the contract has strict cancellation terms that must be adhered to. We help you outline the cancellation terms in the negotiating process.
Can I hire a celebrity for an event myself?
Anyone can hire a celebrity. You will pay more in most cases because an artist can tell if you are not familiar with the process. Always consult with a professional before you book a celebrity yourself. There is a specific process that should be followed.
Will a celebrity prepare a speech or promote my product at the event?
The short answer is yes. The celebrity will help promote your product and deliver a speech if that is included in the deal points when we submit the offer. A celebrity may also post the product on their social media.
What happens if a celebrity is late to my event?
Sometimes flights are delayed, it’s the unfortunate part of traveling abroad. As part of the contract process, we help eliminate delays by adding a late-arrival clause that allows you to cancel the performance if an artist is late beyond a certain point. It’s not ideal and it is rarely a concern, but the good news is that you will get your deposit back and you will not be liable for the performer’s final payment.
Can I pick which songs the celebrity performs at my event?
You can certainly create a list of songs you want performed. The celebrity will sing or perform all of the chosen songs or as many as reasonably possibly within the appearance time paid for.
Will a celebrity sing and perform at my private or public event?
Absolutely, there are some requirements to be aware of if you want a musical performance, however. A celebrity may ask you to fulfill parts of their tour rider, which outlines specific types of equipment needed to execute a live performance.
Are there any celebrities I cannot hire for my event?
It depends, some celebrities will avoid certain political affiliations, communities or parties that may be considered a conflict of interest. We will help you determine the potential obstacles before wasting any time.
Will the celebrity I choose take pictures with my family and friends?
Yes, the celebrity will take pictures with you and a small group of people assuming you make time for it during their appearance. If you want a celebrity to appear for an hour, set aside 30 minutes of that time for a meet and greet, otherwise the celebrity may not stick around for longer than what’s stated in their contract.
How much does it cost to hire a celebrity for an event?
The cost to hire a celebrity can vary from artist to artist. Other determining factors will influence the price as well. The deal points we create on your behalf , the location of your event, and duration of appearance can heavily influence the price of a celebrity booking.
Can you guarantee the celebrity will be hired for my event?
In most cases, if the celebrity is available and the offer is strong, we guarantee the chosen celebrity will strongly consider the offer. Sometimes, it makes sense to have a backup plan, however, schedules change and late bookings can be risky. It’s best to have 2-3 celebrities in mind before you start the process, just in case the first is unavailable.
When will I have to pay the celebrity to appear at my private or public event?
Typically an artist will be paid in two separate installments. The first payment is a deposit of 50% which is usually paid thirty to ninety days from the engagement. Sometimes the artist will require a full payment upfront, it depends on the scope of work and the notoriety of the celebrity being considered. The final payment of 50% is paid on the day of the event, unless there is a ticket reconciliation that needs to occur.
Will the celebrity sign autographs for my team and client?
Yes, of course. We include signed memorabilia in all of our offers (memorabilia to be provided by the venue or client).
How long does it take to hire a celebrity for a private or public ticket event?
It can take as much as three to four months to confirm a celebrity appearance, or two days depending on the deal points, offer and location of your event. Start the process early – that’s our recommendation.
What is the process for hiring a celebrity for a private or ticket event?
The process includes selecting the artist(s), contacting our agency, then creating deal points to include in an offer sheet. Once you have the details outlined, we can discuss the terms with the artist or manager. After the artist agrees to the deal points, a contract is signed, a deposit is made and the performance will happen before the remaining money is paid to the artist.
