Zakir Khan (born 20 August 1987) is an Indian stand-up comedian, writer, poet and actor from Indore. Known for his slow, story-driven Hindi comedy about middle-class life, friendship and family, and for his self-mocking "Sakht Launda" persona, he is one of India's most popular comedians.
He won Comedy Central's India's Best Stand Up in 2012 and has released specials including Haq Se Single, Kaksha Gyarvi, Tathastu, Mannpasand, Delulu Express and Papa Yaar. He created and starred in the web series Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare, and in August 2025 became the first Indian artist to perform an entirely Hindi show at New York's Madison Square Garden. In January 2026 he announced a long break from live shows for health and personal reasons.
