Jay, however, is more interested in the perks of being a DJ—free food and potential dates. Together, this uncle-nephew duo navigates family expectations, fierce competition, and the chaotic world of Asian weddings, where every gig could be their last chance at greatness.

- Pali is portrayed by actor Jas Binag, known for his work on Channel 4’s Bollywood Star and films such as Graveyard Shift.
- Jay is played by Viraj Juneja, co-writer of the play, whose TV credits include Get Duked and Little English.
