Bengaluru : What happens when one of India’s most-loved comedian teams up with an omni-channel travel products platform that believes the journey is just as important as the destination? You get Escape Plan Presents Samay Raina Live, a six-month comedy tour set to travel across cities in India from November 2026 to April 2027, with 80+ shows.
Escape Plan has come on board as the Title Sponsor for Samay Raina’s 2026–27 India tour. The partnership brings together two things that increasingly go hand in hand- travelling for experiences and making a trip out of it. From heading to another city for a show to turning one night into a weekend plan with friends, live entertainment is becoming part of how people experience new places.
Across the tour, Escape Plan plans to make sure there is something waiting for audiences when they arrive. Every show will feature an Escape Plan lounge giving fans priority access, a dedicated space inside the venue and a few fun additions to the overall experience. Select fans will also get an opportunity to meet Samay. There will also be surprises, experiences and activities across different cities, with details revealed as the tour travels across India. So, while the comedian may be the same, every stop will have something of its own.
Speaking about the partnership, Abhinav Pathak, Co-Founder & CEO, Escape Plan, said, “At Escape Plan, we think a lot about how people travel today. For younger consumers, travel is increasingly about experiences such as a comedy show, a concert, a festival or simply making a weekend out of being somewhere new. That’s what made Samay Raina Live such a natural fit for us. It brings together two things people increasingly prioritise today: great experiences and travel. We’ve always believed that when you travel, you don’t just carry your luggage with you, you also carry back the memories you make along the way. With 80+ shows planned, we’re excited to make every stop more than just another show, but a part of the journey itself”
This association builds on Escape Plan’s previous partnerships with brands such as HRX, Rare Rabbit and Snitch, bringing its travel expertise into experiences beyond traditional travel products. From creating travel products with fashion and lifestyle brands to making travel a part of experiences, these partnerships reflect Escape Plan’s larger vision of being part of where people go, what they experience and the memories they bring back.
And with Samay Raina Live travelling across India for six months, Escape Plan is quite literally coming along for the ride with the funniest travel buddy.
