Mumbai, Feb 13 : Actor Kunaal Roy Kapur is all set to perform along with his friend and stand-up comedian Anubhav Pal in his act â€œThe Empireâ€ which will be a part of the Stage42 festival. The actor says he is nervous over his gig.

â€œI am so not looking forward to this. I have hung eight stories off the ground on a wire, and I can tell you this is far worse. It\'s nerve-wrecking. Pal gets me to do this and I think I\'m going to have to stop being friends with him. I haven\'t seen \'The Empire\' and I\'m glad I\'m getting paid too,â€ Kunaal said in a statement.

Kunal will be seen in the opening act at Rangsharda Natya Mandir here Feb 22.

Internationally known stand-up comedians like Jerry Seinfeld and Russell Peters will also be a part of this festival.

The Stage42 festival will take place in seven cities -- Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune -- between February and March. It aims at showcasing some of India\'s and the world\'s most celebrated artists and experiences in comedy, music, theatre and food.
