This paper examines Dalit stand-up comedy as a creative resistance to caste in India, focusing on the emergence of Dalit stand-up comedy. Through the case study of select Dalit stand-up acts of artists like Manpreet Sarkar, Sanjay Rajoura, and Neha Thombre, this paper analyses how Dalit stand-up comedy as a performing art offers a potent minority perspective on caste, hegemony, and upper-caste elitism. It traces the evolution of Dalit stand-up comedy, pointing out its similarity and differences with the elite mainstream stand-up comedy. The paper foregrounds the radical reimagining of humour wielded as a weapon by Dalit stand-up comedy for sociocultural transformation. It highlights how Dalit marginalisation still exists in India, even in cultural spheres such as stand-up comedy.
