What Is Going On?
Sameera Bhalotra Bowers

Following a sell-out run and a ★★★★½ review, Sameera, a Cambridge Footlight and British Film Institute award-winning comedy filmmaker, brings her “poignant... committed, absurd, and utterly delightful” (The Tab, 2025) hour of stand-up, poetry, storytelling, puppetry, character work, and multimedia presentations to Camden.
Sameera is graduating with a degree in Law and Economics and chasing big dreams—like becoming the Indian face of the Final Pathway Manor Nursing Home brochure. In the meantime, she’s reciting poetry about university academics turning cows into spheres, taking questionable advice from a VIP love-life mentor, and stuck in a car with two puppets and two GPS systems going... somewhere. At the same time, her grandmother keeps calling from India to ask about her post-graduation plans. Sameera keeps dodging the calls, certain that clarity is just around the corner, plunging instead into a series of increasingly absurd attempts to find it.
What reviewers are saying:
“Genius” (Varsity, 2024)
“Priceless comedic timing” (The Tab, 2024)
“Left me crying with laughter” (Varsity, 2025)
