Alternative personalities or alter egos are of late playing a bigger role in creating comedy as it offers comedians a medium to bring out another side of themselves. Even the audience is becoming receptive to consuming this side of comedy.
Lately, a lot many comedy content creators are getting guised in different roles on social media to create our precious, ‘comedy’.
Like Mallika Dua has been playing a whole bunch of roles and Bhuvan Bam who is known for his BB ki Vines, there are others like Gaurav Gera too who use Snapchat filters to their maximum capacity to prepare fun bits for the consumption of comedy loving audience.
Apart from these, there are other Humour Sapiens too whom you might have missed.

Deejay and struggling actor Vicky, known for his amazing speaking style and dad’s money is Varun’s alter ego. His leather shoes and Ed Hardy T-shirt are a perfect formula for laughter, backed with his perv oddities.
b. Naveen Richard aka Uncle Francis
Uncle Francis is no ordinary uncle. He is powerful enough to make you roll with laughter every time you see him. Naveen Richard is the person responsible for bringing the South Indian representation in the mainstream Indian comedy.

e. Aditi Mittal aka Dr. Mrs. Savitri Lutchuke
A character from Aditi Mittal that is similar to your mother, Mrs. Lutchuke has a Marathi accent in which she hilariously educates about sex.
