Gurleen Pannu has become one of the most engaging new voices in India's comedy circuit. Her rise has been more gradual than overnight, tempered through years of theatre work, open mics and the kind of sharp observational humor that instantly resonates with the audience. While she is growing in the public eye, her story reflects both creativity and determination.
Gurleen is a quick witted comic and writer from India, known for her relatable storytelling. She started doing stand-up in 2019 on small open mic stages and built a following before becoming a regular in digital comedy spaces.
She was born on May 11, 1998, making her 27 years old as of 2025.
Before comedy, she pursued an academic track by getting a B.Sc. in Microbial and Food Technology from Mehr Chand Mahajan DAV College for Women. She graduated as a university topper in microbiology a detail often found quite surprising by her fans.
Gurleen grew up in Chandigarh in a family with an impeccable sports background. Her father is a former Ranji player who once held a world record for a seventh wicket partnership. Her brother and cousins play competitive sports, too. Her mother frequently appears in her jokes whenever Gurleen talks about day to day family chaos.
She has kept her personal life private and is currently unmarried. Gurleen prefers focusing on her work rather than discussing her relationships publicly.
She started off her career in theatre and college dramatics before doing stand-up. Open mic shows got her onto bigger platforms and she went on to be the runner-up at Comicstaan Season 3. Later, she went on to write for SonyLIV's Chalo Koi Baat Nahi, toured India for her solo show Pannu Yaar and hosted YouTube Fanfest India in 2024.
Her estimated net worth, through stand-up shows, branded collaborations and digital presence is around Rs. 1–5 crore.
Coming from a science background, Gurleen is challenging assumptions of who gets to succeed in stand-up as a woman entering a male-dominated comedy scene. In her content, humor usually mixes with subtle reflections on identity, ambition and everyday struggles.
She has appeared in Comicstaan and Amazon miniTV's Pretty Good Roast Show, both of which helped her gain a wider audience.
