Urvi Majumdar is a Melbourne-based comedian, screenwriter, actor and producer. She is one of the most exciting new voices in the Australian comedy and TV/Film scene but she’d make some absurd self-deprecating joke if you mentioned it. Urvi has performed to sold-out crowds at The Melbourne International, Sydney and Brisbane Comedy Festivals. Urvi has previously written regularly for Channel Ten’s The Project and ABC’s The Weekly with Charlie Pickering. You can see Urvi in the ABC’s critically acclaimed series Fisk, and Guy Montgomery’s Spelling Bee, Channel Ten’s Cheap Seats, SBS’s The Cook Up with Adam Liaw and Celebrity Letters & Numbers, and in both seasons of Channel 9’s Metrosexual. You can hear Urvi as a regular guest presenter on Triple RRR and ABC Radio. Urvi was recently successful in receiving ABC X Screen Australia’s highly competitive Freshblood funding and adapted her much loved debut solo comedy show Urvi Went to an All Girls School, into a AACTA and AWGIE nominated web-series and then a 30 minute pilot, which is available to watch on ABCiview now.
Urvi’s Solo Comedy Festival Debut ‘Urvi Went to an All Girls School’ was adapted into A TV show as part of Screen Australia’s Freshblood initiative, helping young creators get their projects into production. Urvi’s team was one of only 3 out of 420 applications to make a 30 minute pilot.

“Majumdar recounts adolescence, puberty, unrequited love and all the general horrors that high school involves, like a Tina Fey fever dream”
— THE AGE AUSTRALIA
“The Future of Stand Up is in Good Hands”
