The Habitat Comedy Club, which was vandalised and decided to shut down temporarily after comedian Kunal Kamra’s controversial stand-up act, on Tuesday, announced that it was reopening.
The Habitat studio invited fresh registrations for the upcoming open mic events on Instagram.
The Habitat Studio came into spotlight recently after comedian Kunal Kamra’s recent standup act ‘Naya Bharat’ stirred a row with Shiv Sena workers calling him a ‘traitor’ for allegedly referring to Maharashtra deputy CM Eknath Shinde in his act.
Soon after the video of the act went viral on social media, Sena workers vandalised the Habitat Comedy Club in Mumbai’s Khar area where the comedian had performed.
After being ransacked by Sena workers, the Habitat issued a statement claiming that they support creative dialogue and just provide artists a space to perform and announced a temporary shutdown of the space.
“We urge constructive conversations, not destruction, to address disagreements. We do not support hate or harm of any kind. Violence and destruction undermine the very spirit of art and dialogue,” the Habitat said in a post on their Instagram page.
