Playground Improv Collective

Playground Creative House, the parent venture behind the collective, preceded the formal comedy studio launch by at least a year. The Playground Comedy Studio was launched around 2018-2019 with the aim of providing Delhi audiences a dedicated small-theatre comedy venue. Baneet Chhabra co-founded the studio alongside Priya Sharma and Shivam Srivastava. The studio has hosted daily show programming, including improv jams featuring the collective alongside visiting performers. Playground operates as both a performing ensemble and a workshop provider, offering beginner improv courses to Delhi audiences.

Playground Improv Collective performs accessible, high-energy short-form scenes, drawing on audience suggestions to build unscripted characters and situations in real time. The collective's embedding within a dedicated comedy studio rather than a general arts venue gives its work a stand-up-adjacent atmosphere, appealing to audiences drawn to both improv and mainstream comedy. Workshops extend this philosophy to participants, emphasising spontaneity and collaboration as learnable creative skills.
