The Illiterates is a unique panel where two comedians who read, make jokes about literary luminaries far smarter than them!
‘The Illiterates’, Sorabh Pant and Sapan Verma, dissect the literary world and walk the audience through their hilarious observations. They alienate the reading world, read out excerpts from banned books and make jokes no author should be allowed to make.
