Day 70: #365DaysOfWriting
Comicstaan
So, ever since I saw the promotions for Comicstaan, I have been looking forward to watch this show. It had all my current favourite comedians and the promise of delivering fresh voices. It answered everything I wanted from quality content. 13th July came and went. I have only one complaint from the show. Like simply one.

WHY ARE THERE ONLY FOUR EPISODES RELEASED YET?
So the show moves from episode to episode exploring different types of comedy allowing the 10 contestants to learn from one mentor each week. So far, they have covered anecdotal comedy with Biswa Kalyan Rath, topical comedy with Tanmay Bhat (my personal favourite episode) and observational comedy with Sapan Verma. Truth be told, it is so much fun to 10 different people trying the same style of comedy. It is refreshing to hear new perspectives and observations of things that we see in everyday life.
From the very beginning of the show, I have had three solid favourites: Shankar Chugani, Sejal Bhat and Prashasti Singh. Every single set that they have performed has been a joy to watch and I can’t help but crack up every time they take the stage. My personal favourite was the observational comedy set by Shankar.
I also really enjoyed some of the sets by the other contestants. Rahul Dua, Aishwarya Mohanraj, Saurav Mehta and Nishant Suri had some really funny sets with highly interesting observations!
If you’re a fan of the Indian stand-up comedy circuit, I’d recommend this show. :)
