About The Event
About the show
The moon is out, the lights are off, and things are feeling...sketchy. What`s that noise? Why is that dog barking?Will you hold me closer?
NDLS: Ghosts ‘n’ Dosts is a variety sketch show: a selection of comedic, musical, nonsensical scenes strung loosely together like teeth on a string. It lazes in bars, gazes at stars, growls at teachers, howls at strangers. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, full of song and strangeness, NDLS squeezes your favourite things -- fear, death, dating, babies – into an evening of lightly dark entertainment that will make you go ooh and hah and aargh and huh?!
About NDLS
NDLS is Tadpole`s long-running variety show about the ordinary madness of life in the NCR – and beyond. It began in 2013 and most recently had sold-out shows in Oddbird Theatre and Piano Man Jazz Club.
The members of the NDLS ensemble are a cross-section of Delhi-based performers drawn from different theatre companies and traditions. It brings together established and emerging theatre-makers, improvisers, designers, arts-educators and applied-arts practitioners.

About the Tadpole Repertory
The Tadpole Repertory is a collective of theatre practitioners founded in 2009 by Neel Chaudhuri, Kriti Pant and Bikram Ghosh. It is committed to producing and promoting new and inventive work as part of New Delhi’s independent theatre landscape. Our work includes Taramandal (2010), winner of the Hindu MetroPlus Playwright Award; Still and Still Moving (2012), winner of two META Awards; This Will Only Take Several Minutes (2017), a collaboration Tokyo collective HANCHU-YUEI; Meridian (2022), an interactive audio piece for mobile phones; and most recently, Aakhirkaar (2024), supported by the Bhasha Centre and District under their Manch programme.
Tadpole has travelled to festivals and venues in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Chandigarh, Thrissur, Hyderabad, Dublin and Tokyo. Yet our heart - and the bulk of our work - lives in New Delhi, where we continue to make theatre that is relevant, lively and moving.
