It cannot be denied that the cost of recording stand-up comedy videos is too high. Ultimately, most of the wonderful acts that are presented across India don’t reach the wider audience. Moreover, there’s a lot of audience that is just consuming the free videos on YouTube, and this gap leads to appreciators of comedy miss out on the up and coming gems of stand-up scene. So, Humour Sapiens brings to you the comics that grabbed our attention in the past year.
Here you go. Check out the up and coming Indian stand-up comics:
Samay Raina:
Winner of Comicstaan 2, Samay is known for sudden quirks and punchlines which he delivers with unwavering confidence. He takes his comedy very seriously and plans on creating an impact with his fresh take on things.
Sriraam Padmanabhan:
The first ever joke that got him a laugh was, “I am Sriraam. I am a South Indian. I’d tell you my last name but we don’t have all night.” This curly-haired comic uses humour as a coping mechanism to deal with harsh realities of life. Sriraam Padmanabhan started doing stand-up comedy for fun, took a break for a while and got back with a bang. And we are glad!
