Weeks after it made headlines for being the venue of podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks, the Habitat Comedy Club in Mumbai now stands shut following vandalism, two FIRs and a political controversy surrounding Kunal Kamra’s performance at the venue.

Kamra had taken a jibe at defection politics in Maharashtra, among other subjects, with a modified version of a Bollywood song that appeared to reference Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. But hours after he uploaded a video clip from his show on YouTube on Sunday, scores of Shiv Sena workers descended on the venue and vandalised it during another performance.
