NEHA GOYAL

Neha’s love for theater and comedy started when she first stepped on to a stage for a solo act at the age of 7. Ever since then she has been acting in various theater plays and short films. She learnt improv at her graduate school in the US and was quite smitten by it.

She has been acting with NAATAK, America’s biggest Indian theater company, since 2009 and a few of her notable plays are The Odd Couple, Noises Off, K.K, Disconnect, Mowgli and I, Vrindavan and Aathva Sarg.

Neha was the co-founder of Bay Area’s first and only Desi Improv comedy troupe (at Naatak) along with Abhay. The troupe dished out several funny shows as well as performed for corporate events at Facebook, Yahoo, SAP. They were also the first to introduce Desi Standup in the Bay Area as a part of their shows.

She is an avid traveler having traveled to nearly 40 countries and maintains a travel blog too. She loves to stay fit training for triathlons and comes home to her three year old daughter and a loving husband.

Her stand up material is often inspired from her personal experiences with her parents and extended family. Her NRI sensibilities create enough humor on India trips and during phone conversations with family and friends.
