Shreya Priyam Roy’s comic career kicked off in 2019 on Delhi University’s campus, when she traded her history notes for punchlines under the Delhi sky. College gatherings turned into open‑mic gigs, and a handful of YouTube videos earned her a reputation for turning everyday awkwardness into laugh tracks.
Her first national spotlight came with Amazon Prime Video’s Comicstaan Season 3, where she advanced to the final rounds, a move that catapulted her from a local stage star to a household name across India.
With her solo special "Premium Roy", she filled theatres from Delhi to Mumbai, delivering Hinglish jokes that blend satire with a pinch of sarcasm, proving comedy can be both sharp and heart‑warmingly relatable.
Growing up in Patna, she draws on middle‑class family dynamics and gender stereotypes, while her side hustle as a mural artist and production designer adds a visual edge to her stage presence.
Now, at NDTV Yuva 2026, she will lead a panel titled "Gustakhi Maaf!!!" alongside Kenny Sebastian, Raunak Rajani, and Warren Viegas, offering a chance to witness fresh jokes and behind‑the‑scenes insights from India’s comedy trailblazers.
