Mumbai: Comedian Cyrus Braocha has plans to take up a fight against foreign comics by making a comeback on stage with Cyrusitis - a one and a half man show.

And if Cyrus is the 'one' here, then his good friend Kunal Vijayakar is the 'half man', even though he doubles up as the play's director and actor. So what brought the two back together on stage?

"People told me why don't you do stand up comedy, its booming. So I said I can't do stand up because I can't stand for so long. So I said I will do this show which will have me stand up and sit down as well," said Cyrus.

"He does these party events and gathering. Some times he gets paid for it some times he doesn't. But people like him so we thought why not institutionalise it," said Kunal.

Written by Cyrus himself, this play is nothing but experiences from his life -- tweaked and twisted. Apart from Cyrus' comic act, there is something else to watch out for - his stage mother.

"Yes mother is going to be very powerful influence. She actually is in real life. This is a real show in terms of most of the things are taken from real life tweaked it here and there but its real," said Cyrus.

"It's a very interactive show and audience will be a part of it they will also get to go on stage and be with Cyrus," said producer, Cyrusitis, Raell Padamsee.

Cyrusitis premieres on September 26 and 27 at Mumbai's NCPA and St Andrews Auditorium respectively.
