Next in our open platform showcase series: an open mic for amateur stand-up comedians. The best submissions get a feedback and tips session with an expert mentor, Aditi Mittal, before they take their turn at the mic. Read all about it: thegoaproject.wordpress.com/2025/06/02/l...
We did not get any submissions in time for the workshop with Aditi, so that part is cancelled. The form remains open for submissions to the open mic.

NWMI urges the Indian government and the Indian Embassy in Cairo to ensure that Nikita’s passport is returned immediately, and that she be allowed to carry out her professional duties. Nikita Jain was reporting for Maktoob Media on The Global March to Gaza. nwmindia.org/statements/n...
Update: We have extended the deadline until Sunday night (15 June). Anyone submitting after that might still get a chance to perform, but you won’t get to learn from Aditi Mittal. And that would be a waste of an opportunity to learn from a pro. Summon up your best words and courage and apply!
