We built this spot in Bangalore for artists, poets, comedians, thinkers, bookworms—basically, anyone who needs a place to be real. Our Tuesdays with the Bard poetry thing, it’s legendary, but honestly? The best bits are the nervous poets, the crazy laughter, the quiet book chats. This place has a soul ‘cause of you all. Welcome home, yaara. ### My work - **Weekly poetry, comedy, music & book events**: We host weekly poetry event Bangalore, open mic comedy Bangalore, live music, book lovers club Bangalore, and more. - **Tuesdays with the Bard**: India’s record-breaking weekly poetry event. Poets, applause, tears, and first-time voices—everyone’s welcome. - **LOL @ Urban Solace**: First comedy stage in Bangalore. Wednesdays explode with laughter, from fresh faces to big names. - **SoulStage & Unplugged Music Nights**: 10 minutes, your mic, your magic. Open mic for music, beatboxing, and unplugged music nights Bangalore. - **Food, Coffee & Chill**: Spectacular lake view, English breakfast cafe Bangalore, coffee, and easy conversations.
