Sanjay Rajoura had his first real attempt at stand up comedy in 2009 when he took the stage in an open mic event at a popular joint in Delhi post which there was no stopping. His first two big solo events ‘Jat In Mood’ [4] was held at India Habitat Center, New Delhi, and both the shows were hugely successful.

He has been performing all over India with shows in Noida, Gurgaon,[5] Pune, Bangalore and Delhi.

His work has been critically acclaimed to be unconventional, unique and fresh. His USP of narrating real-life stories in a funny satirical manner has been greatly appreciated and well received by the audience.[6][7] Also, most of his stories have an underlying social message and hence is not totally meaningless comedy.[8]

He played the lead role in The Fiction[9][10] directed by Spandan Banerjee [11] which was showcased at Osians Film Festival, New Delhi and MIAAC New York, Washington.

His latest solo show called 'End The Occupation' [12] was an act that looks up and down on the "many India's" co-existing in urban spaces. It was about the quirks and idiosyncrasies of ordinary people, a look at the aspects of our social lives and also a peep into the shady side. Sanjay has performed this show at India Habitat Center (Delhi) and Epicenter (Gurgaon). This show has gathered a lot of critical acclaim and has been extremely well received by the audience. He also holds a politico-comedy show namely "Bharat Ek Mauj".
