Early Life & Background
Gurleen Pannu is a young upcoming star in the Indian stand-up comedy, born on 11 May 1998 in Chandigarh (a city between Punjab and Haryana). Bringing her up in a family where the members are very athletic (her father, brother, and cousins are professional athletes), Gurleen initially took a different path: she studied academics. Her Bachelor of Science degree was in Microbial and Food Technology from Mehr Chand Mahajan DAV College of Women, Chandigarh.
Published sources indicate that she is about 5 ft 5 in (165 cm) tall.
The Career Shift: From Microscopes to Microphones

- She became a performer and writer in the sketch-comedy series Chalo Koi Baat Nahi (on SonyLIV) in 2021. It was followed by her actual breakthrough in 2022 when she participated in season 3 of Comicstaan (on Amazon Prime Video) and became the losing contestant that brought her into the limelight.
- Subsequently, Gurleen also put on her own stand-up comedy show, called Pannu Yaar, which was being performed in Indian cities, and in 2024, she even hosted YouTube Fanfest India. Her sense of humour also relies on familiar anecdotes of the North-Indian family life, which are very relatable to the audience, and are bound together by a solid sense of observational humour combined with a hint of Punjabi-Hindi culture.
