3. On over-confident Indian bachelors

5. True happiness lies in small-small things

6. Men and consent rarely go together

10. The forever overflowing fridges of Indians

He starts off with sharing his latest learnings which can prove to be really helpful in your day to day life, such as DAFUQ, IDGAF, etc are internet abbreviations and apparently not some Muslim names. Insightful, isn’t it?

Azeem then moves ahead and shares the rules that people living in Bandra have to follow, and the pressure it brings with it. Jogging regularly and shopping at Nature’s Basket are the essentials if you don’t want t get thrown out of Bandra. The reason why he follows those strict rules is because Bandra is a cool place and it has lots of bakeries Patisseries. It’s like a bakery version of Shashi Tharoor. He highlights how these patisseries have unnecessarily creative yet threatening names, sinful chocolate, devil’s moose, and the likes.

It’s like chocolate is the new tobacco. Soon you’ll see Rahul Dravid in chocolate ads urging people to quit, otherwise you know what happened to Mukesh – Death by chocolate.

Azeem also shares his plight of managing a fridge and how he plays tetris every night trying to fit things in the fridge. But the crux of the matter is, no matter how big a fridge you have, you will always lack space to store things.

While this is a fact, there’s another fact that he makes us aware of…our incapability and unwillingness to throw away the stuff we get from Dominoes, be it oregano,  chili flakes or tissue paper. All kept safely in the second shelf of the fridge, beside expired sauces. How fridging awesome!

You cannot just miss this video. Every second of it will leave you grinning and wondering how does this man do it. Smooth deliveries bowled us over and left us wanting for more!

The post 5 Hilarious jokes by Indian stand-up comedians you don’t need audio to laugh at appeared first on Humour Sapiens.

We have always wondered how our Indian TV serials could lack basic logic, and yet we watch them. These guys hilariously talk about everything from Indian Idol to Naagin and ended with Super Cops vs. Super Villains. While Atul enlightened us on him being the youngest in the family, Azeem told us why he voted for Amit Sana in Indian Idol.

It’s like the Pretentious TV Serial Reviews from East India Comedy.

Therein, they discuss about this disorder in a normal fashion, without making it sound like an exaggerated ailment. In its first episode, comedian Neville Shah features as a guest. They have plans of roping in more actors and comedians to bring this issue to light.

Good job, Azeem!

However, in case you missed, Azeem Banatwalla’s second Amazon Prime Special is here, and is called ‘Problems’. He is at his finest and you cannot afford to miss his unmatched form and confidence. There are no two thoughts about it that his observational skills are excellent and he puts across his narrative in a well conceptualized fashion.

In this video Azeem Banatwalla talks about the real meaning of being a #Chowkidar. It’s topical, it’s funny!

Here’s a sneak peak into the world of our chowkidar leader and the sub-titles that are equally funny to complement it.

News on The Loose with Vir Das

Well, just like anyone else, he too had a humble start, when he became a writer for television. Things turned around for him in 2008 when he met Vir Das and they did a show together called News on The Loose for CNBC-TV18. It went so well, that Sorabh Pant became the opening act for Vir Das’s show, Walking on Broken Das. He remained the opening act for the next three and a half years.

Pant on Fire

People loved his acts so much (we do not blame them!), he also did his very first solo show in 2009 called Pant on Fire and he was certainly on Fire when he spoke on topics like the Royal Wedding and the ‘racist’ GPS system.

Pant with a Pen

While he continued his solo acts, he went on to a few more opening acts for Wayne Brady and then Rob Schneider when they toured India. If that was not enough, Pant also released his debut novel The Wednesday Soul in December 2011, followed by Under Delhi in 2014 and Pawan: The Flying Accountant in 2017

THE EAST INDIA COMEDY

The next turning point for this ‘manic’ comic came in 2012, when he founded The East India Comedy. Each member of this ‘band’ of comedians have made a name for themselves and are as crazy as the founder! Kunal Rao, Sapan Verma, Sahil Shah, Atul Khatri, Azeem Banatwalla and Angad Singh Ranyal – each one of them are unique and all of them have done solo shows; the number of shows are just too many, but as The East India Comedy, these guys churned out a record 130 shows across the country in 2013.

Coming back to Sorabh Pant, he has gone on to do a couple of specials on Amazon Prime, the most recent one being Make India Great Again, where he takes a dig at Indian politics. His style of comedy is ‘over-the-top’ but truthful and that is what attracts his audience. His take on the various communities combined with a lot of talk about ‘sex’ keeps the crowd hooked on to his performance.

MY DAD THINKS HE’S FUNNY

Humour Sapiens enjoyed the special on Amazon Prime on ‘My Dad thinks he’s Funny’ – the way he explains his state when his wife was in labour to the kind of advice that he got from elders to keeping a name for his son – it is a journey that we all go through, but it takes a ‘mentally unstable’ guy like Sorabh to team it up with topics like sperm count test and the likes and still get rib tickling laughter out of it.
