The Hasya Darbar, once a vibrant tradition in Gujarat, had slowly begun to fade. It was a place for wit, humour, and gentle moral lessons — but over time, it was remembered more in stories than experienced in person.

Sairam Dave gave new life to this art form. He shaped the Hasya Darbar into a one-man show that kept its original flavour but spoke in a style that felt fresh. His humour mixes wordplay, satire, and clever observations on everyday life– all while keeping the performance family-friendly. The result is a performance that makes people laugh and think at the same time.

Today, Hasya Darbar has travelled far beyond its rural roots. From packed theatres in cities to diaspora audiences abroad, the tradition is alive again, and more than fifty albums of his performances make sure it stays alive for future generations.
