India-West News Desk

LOS ANGELES, CA-British stand-up comedian Paul Chowdhry will tour the United States for the first time in January 2026 with his new show ‘Artificial Indian,’ following years of sold-out arena performances across the United Kingdom.

Presented in partnership with Live Nation, the U.S. tour runs through January 24. Chowdhry will open the run with two performances in Los Angeles on January 5 and 6.

His  U.S. debut brings an adapted version of his UK arena production ‘Englandia,’ which sold out two nights at London’s O2 Arena and played to more than 80,000 people nationwide.

‘Artificial Indian’ draws on Chowdhry’s experience as a British-Asian performer whose father emigrated from India in 1964. The show examines questions of identity, race, and belonging, while comparing political and social climates in Britain and the United States. The title references the dual meaning of “AI,” using the concept to question authenticity in an era shaped by media saturation and public spectacle.

His Amazon Prime Special Live Innit reached audiences globally, and his screen credits include Disney’s ‘Cruella,’ BBC One’s ‘The Cleaner,’ and Sky Atlantic’s ‘Devils.’
