Raul Kohli: The Kohli Bible

Raul Kohli brings his newest show, The Kohli Bible, to Brighton Fringe after a whirlwind year marked by international acclaim and a celebrated run in Australia. Now a fixture on the global comedy circuit, Raul is known for his unique blend of sharp social observation, open-hearted storytelling, and smart, spontaneous crowd work. At Brighton, he serves up an hour that’s as thought-provoking as it is hilarious—confronting the absurdities of 2025 with wit, warmth, and candid takes on modern life.

Fresh from acclaimed performances at the Adelaide and Melbourne Comedy Festivals, Raul’s comedy has been described as “balancing heavy topics with razor-sharp wit, delivering laughs while leaving audiences pondering deeper truths of existence” (Fringefeed, 2025). He intricately weaves tales of navigating identity, culture, and self with knockout gags and audience banter, creating the intimate, electric atmosphere he’s become famous for. As one reviewer put it after his Australian tour, “the show was genuinely entertaining—funny, candid, and full of good vibes…an especially funny and heartfelt show” (Reddit, 2025).​

This show promises crowd interaction and candid takes on what’s happening in the world—no subject is off-limits. Whether dissecting politics, riffing on football, or exploring spiritual quandaries, Raul blends “humour and heart, ensuring the audience leaves both entertained and thoughtful” (Mindshare, 2025). The strength of his comedy lies in his “fearless honesty and ability to find comedy in the darkest corners of life” (Fringefeed, 2025), making The Kohli Bible a show for fans of truly original stand-up.​
