Rishi Budhrani, Live and Exposed (2022)

He also performed his signature blend of observational comedy combined with personal stories that resonated with local audiences. [32]

"Can I Make You A Suit, Mate?" (2022)

Rishi created and performed "Can I Make You A Suit, Mate?" at the Esplanade Theatres, a semi-improvised comic monologue inspired by his father's own life journey. The performance has been regarded as an original, poignant, and humorous tale based on Rishi's father, who had a tremendous impact on his life and career. [33]

Singapore National Day Parade (2022)

Rishi became the first stand-up comedian in Singapore to host the National Day Parade (NDP) in 2022. [34] The show was held at the Marina Bay floating platform with 25,000 people in attendance.

Several viral moments occurred during that year's National Day Parade, including a spectator interviewed by Rishi who excitedly expressed gratitude for obtaining a BTO (Build-To-Order) queue number [36] from the Housing and Development Board (HDB) in the midst of rising public housing costs in Singapore.

Artificial Indian (2023)

In September 2023, Rishi debuted his solo stand-up comedy performance "AI - Artificial Indian" to sold-out audiences at the Drama Centre Theatre. The title of the Programme is a wordplay of Artificial Intelligence (AI), since the comic often noticed news about the technology swarming his feeds. [37]

The show was reviewed as having Rishi's "signature blend of commentary on politics and current affairs (in Singapore)", albeit with a light and comedic touch. [38] He discussed current racial microaggressions against Singaporean minorities while providing a platform for opening acts to showcase their comic skills and express their perspectives on being from minority groups in Singapore. [39]

[40] The fundraiser, with the theme 'Respect for all,' garnered over S$11 million in donations and featured local and international artiste performances. Newly-elected President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and his wife, Jane Ittogi, served as guests of honour for the event. [41]

Personal life

Rishi has a close relationship with his father, Parkash "Jimmy" Budhrani, who was also the subject of inspiration for his 2022 comedy special, "Can I Make You A Suit, Mate?". [42] The mention of suits is based on his father's real-life work as a tailor boutique owner in Singapore. Rishi routinely appears in comedy shows and hosting gigs wearing tailored suits from his father's boutique. [43]

Rishi is married to Sharul Channa, a prominent female stand up comedian in Singapore, in 2015. The pair met in 2007 as students when they were members of Tez Dhaar (Razor's Edge), a dance group in Singapore that performed at Indian weddings and events. [44] They started dating shortly after and got married eight years later. Their marriage inspired the first edition of The Rishi and Sharul Show in Singapore that sold out in 2015. In 2019, the pair collaborated on a CNA show ‘Rishi & Sharul Try’ where they experimented with different subcultures. In 2020, five years after the first show, they presented a second edition of The Rishi and Sharul Show. [45]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rishi indulged in unhealthy food and alcohol as means to cope with the loss of a close friend. Adding work burnout to the mix, he eventually weighed his heaviest at over 90 kilograms in 2021.Seeing how his declining health negatively affected his everyday life, Rishi underwent a physical and mental transformation by dedicating himself to a rigorous fitness regimen with a renewed focus on health. [46]
