]]>
What is that you ask?
It is a pan India comedy hunt – for the comediennes. The idea is to encourage the comics to come out of the hood and tell the world – it’s the women who boss.
Ms Funny Bones is the virtual “You Go, Girl” from the Team Suno Bey, who want women from across India to participate. They are inviting both experienced and newbie comics to take part in the competition.
The show will be hosted by the Suno Bey team 
.
Team Suno Bey puts it:
Ms Funny Bones is our way to show we care and support women. We know a female-only comedy line-up will be awesome fun.
More about Ms Funny Bones
The event will have an all-female comic line-up and female jury.
It will be a 5-week competition, where performances will happen on the Saturday evenings on Zoom.
Oct 3 onward, every Saturday, 6 performers will showcase their funny side and say out loud, “audience, audience in the living room or hall, who is the funniest of them all.”
The winner of each week will compete in the finale – on the last Saturday of the event, that is, Oct 31.
The performances will be held in both English and Hindi.
Jury and Selection
Comediennes will be scored on the basis of points given by the Suno Bey team, the audience and a judge.
The jury includes comics with finesse.
(Suno Bey wants to keep it under the wraps for now)
(Hint: Some comics appear in the Sterling Reserve Comedy hosted by Varun Thakur)
What’s in it for the winner?
Cash prizes

Her series of sketches that imitate girls from South Delhi are absolutely hilarious and real. Apart from this, she also loves writing poetry as Kavita Ki Kavita.
This is a recent one on normalising asking for help.
Such are the times – all of us are overwhelmed with work, household stuff, abrupt meetings, and having to stay extra cautious, adding to the list of to-dos. It isn’t quite working from home, but staying at work. This Kavita ki Kavita talks about the importance of talking and listening.

]]>The post Shibani Bedi funny, witty, sassy content creator appeared first on Humour Sapiens.
]]>Shibani has done a bunch of stage plays, and short cameos in movies like Rang De Basanti and No One Killed Jessica. She also starred in a Balaji Telefilms TV soap called Kuch Iss Tara in 2008, appeared in the movies Matra in March 2017 and Why Cheat India in 2019. She has even done a Gujjar film ‘Tau Jhagdu’.
Content Creator and Curator
This powerhouse of the online world, in her journalistic stint, has worked as a copy and content curator 
with the names like NDTV, The Asian Age, India Today, Hindustan Times. Her latest two stints have been with Vegabomb – a Scoopwhoop media venture as writer and editor, and at Times Internet as Video Content and Actor Consultant. She is the brain and face of the video content on iDiva, MensXp, and Indiatimes.
Lockdown Video Love
Since the lockdown began, she is on fire and creating hilarious content pieces and posting on her Instagram page. We have always been in love with Prabha didi – the hoity-toity house help, but her Punjabi mom videos have us bursting with laughter. What’s more? Of late, she has been bringing the food to life and sharing lots and lots of couple-react videos, both young and old.
In August, Shibani and Ankush Bahuguna, her partner in crime in all couple videos, shot a 6-minute debut drama film ‘Almost’ – an emotional yet beautiful chronicle of a breakup.
Watch the video ‘Almost’ here:
Now let’s get back to the Humour Sapien that Shibani is!
- Prabha Didi: ‘Haaye Raaam’! Prabha didi has issues with the most normal things in the world and her take on those is hilarious. And unmissable.
- Punjabi Mom: This character is an absolute favourite and totally relatable. Anyone who has lived in a Punjabi household or observed one from a distance, knows how aptly she depicts it. The dramatic Punjabi mom sounds she makes perfectly complements her hilarious act.
- Bringing foods to life: Maggi or gol gappa, Shibani proves to be a total snacc! The humanised roti, maggi and golgappa hold very strong opinions and high self-esteem. Who doesn’t love an independent, opinionated, funny snack?
- Couple tales: Her couple videos with Ankush always leave us cracking with laughter. Their metro rides are indeed a joy ride for us and their mushy videos are a treat. Lately, she has been throwing at us a lot more quarantine couple videos
. The young couple videos are as rib-tickling as the old married couple videos. While the young couple romances, the older couple hurl brickbats at one another.
- Everyday relatable: Entertaining, relatable and super-slick, that’s what Shibani’s interpretation of day to day things is. It feels so real, and her natural delivery style makes it all the more fun. It’s something we all can instantly connect to.

]]>The post Dolly Singh: Spilling the Sass to 1M Fans appeared first on Humour Sapiens.
]]>Interested in the fashion industry, Dolly interned with iDiva, who offered her the post of a writer on completion of her internship. Therein, she landed an opportunity to multi-task in the iDiva videos as the producer, writer and actor.
Hitting 1M on Instagram 
We have been following Dolly from the times of ‘Spill the Sass’, and witnessing her hard work. On Monday, 24 Aug, Dolly hit a million followers on Instagram. The credit indeed goes to her creativity, commitment to churn new content, and being relatable at all times. She as well has a strong following of 360K people on Youtube.
Lockdown Delight 
We all have been at homes for almost six months now, and the Dalgona days are gone. There’s a constant need of a happy-push to keep us going. That’s where Dolly’s content comes to rescue. She is a delight to watch, and the kind of exciting content she’s been creating certainly keeps us afloat during these times. We are sure, managing everything by herself must have gotten overwhelming for her, but she’s the boss, apple sauce!
The best part about her posts are her self-acceptance messages, and of course her dog, Phoebe. 
Take a look at her comedy videos that make her fans roll with laughter. 
- Raju ki mummy: Dolly’s Raju Ki Mummy avatar took the internet by storm. Inspired by her own mother, this character leaves us in splits every time we watch it. Her honest bon mots with celebs are too good to miss. But poor Raju, always has to bear her wrath – flying chappal received by Raju for not completing his homework.
- This or that: Her iPhone vs Android, Chai vs Coffee, Delhi vs Mumbai videos are so on-point and relatable. Throughout the video, we are rooting for our favourite of the two, hoping for it to come up with the best responses and slay the other. But somehow, she manages to keep both the sides happy.
- Guddi bhabhi: The rich South Delhi daughter in law, Guddi has a perfect response to everything. Her point of views on everyday situations are hilarious and so is the catchphrase ‘Cheeni Kamm hai Chhotu’ in the end.
Take care, cheeni Kam hi rakhna
- Real life situations: Been there, seen that, done that, felt that – this is what her videos make us say. The reactions to quotidian situations she shows in her videos are so apt, it leaves us wondering, “how does she know?” From opening a new toothpaste and relatives asking for marriage plans, to looking for just the right song before a chore, her videos are so accurate. But our favourite has to be ‘Pooping in someone else’s house’.
- Zeenat: This avatar deserves a few extra hearts
. We find ourselves scrolling through her feed every few days, just to see if Zeenat is back with “Salaam! Zeenat, pehchana?”
There’s a lot more interesting content on here Instagram feed. Check out, if you already haven’t!

Introverts have been following social distancing since forever.
We support Fries over Guys kinda feminism only.
Has happened to the best of us.
In her video – Feminism, Sati Aur Nange Log, Neetu Bhardwaj also explains the difference between ‘Sati’ and ‘Jauhar’ girls, moving on to telling us why she prefers being classist but not casteist.
Though Neetu Bhardwaj presents herself on stage with a poker-faced expression, but her content graced the faces of audience with a bout of hyperventilated laughter. We’d love to see her interacting with audience, for we feel that is going be a laugh riot!

Amazon Funnies (Amazon Prime Video)
What better than having 14 stand-up comics working together to entertain you and spread some laughter? Amazon added a cherry on top of the cake of festivities with Amazon Funnies – Prime Day Special. It featured a stellar line-up of 14 comedians – Sumit Sourav, Karthik Kumar, Aishwarya Mohanraj, Shreeja Chaturvedi, Nishant Tanwar, Neeti Palta, Sapan Verma, Sumukhi Suresh, Gaurav Kapoor, Urooj Ashfaq, Rahul Subramanian, Nishant Suri, Rahul Dua, and Anubhav Singh Bassi – who performed a 10-minute set every hour. They covered everything from movies to breakups, to gymming and wedding. If you haven’t watched it yet, you are missing the miniature doses of happiness.
Vir Das for India (Netflix)
After the release of two comedy specials on Netflix – Losing It and Abroad Understanding, Vir Das came up with another special ‘Vir Das for India’ early this year. The special talks about his life spent growing up in India, mentioning India’s favourite Parle G, Old Monk and chyawanprash. What’s amazing about this man is, he finds the funny side about everyday things that make us truly Indian. This special is truly special. Why? Because it is filled with some hearty laughs and nostalgia.
Yours Sincerely, Kanan Gill (Netflix)
This show is all about Kanan Gill revisiting his 15-year-old self by the means of a letter that he wrote to himself – the older-Kanan, when he was 15. He goes through the letter which included a list of goals; he evaluates his achievement count and how far he has come in life. The tone Kanan maintains throughout is certainly a poignant one, but his subtle and witty comments rolled into one leaves everyone rolling with laughter.
Comicstaan (Amazon Prime Video)
Comicstaan, both Season 1 and 2 are the reality shows that feature aspiring comics – most of them are widely recognised now. So, Comicstaan showcases the talent of budding comedians who are groomed under the guidance of Kaneez Surka, Biswa Kalyan Rath, Kanan Gill, Kenny Sebastian, Abish Mathew, Sumukhi Suresh, Zakir Khan, Neeti Patla and Urooj Ashfaq. Their comic timing and extra-ordinary sets will leave you splits. What’s more? You also get to these contestants rehearse for their shows, yes, the behind the scenes part, and how they structure a perfect laughter-inducing set.
Pushpavalli (Amazon Prime Video)
Are you looking for a comedy show and not really a stand-up special? Then Pushpavalli, both Season 1 and 2 are your go-to options. Starring Sumukhi Suresh, Pushapavalli is the story of a girl who is obsessed with a boy she has never dated. The show is laced with witty one-liners and relatable situations which will plaster a smile on your face. Sumukhi’s impeccable comic timing steals the show and she delivers a performance to remember. If you haven’t watched it yet, this show could offer you some light-hearted laughter.

]]>The post Rakhi gifts for your stand-up comic sibling appeared first on Humour Sapiens.
]]>The season of gifts and monetary reaps for the sister, and burnt pockets for the brother – all of them seemingly happy with this arrangement.
Even if the sister is double the size of her brother, in both height and girth, quite unlikely to ever need his raksha, she still circles three times her thali and joyfully tuck into all the gifts she gets in return.
But do you know when did this all begin?
We realise Humour Sapiens’ posts are supposed to be humorous, a little peek into the history is just fine – trust us!
So, since we are talking about Rakhi festival, there is an old, famous legend circling the Mughal emperor, Humayun. Legend has it that the widowed Rani Karnavati sent a rakhi to Humayun seeking his protection against Sultan Bahadur Shah. But by the time the emperor made a grand entry at Chittor, his rakhi sister had already set herself on fire. *Oops!*
According to another legend, the ritual of Raksha Bandhan was followed by Yama – the Lord of Death and Yamuna – the river that flows in India. Yamuna tied a rakhi to Yama, and the lord of death granted her immortality declaring that any brother who has tied a Rakhi and promised to protect his sister would also become immortal. *What about the sister’s immortality?*
We think, to compensate for immortality, the sisters are given gifts. Fair! Who needs immortality anyway?
Since we are a modern generation that believes in equality, the gifting norm on Raksha Bandhan has become a two way street.
Thinking of what could be a best gift for your brother or sister – every year – can be exhausting. After all, there is only so much that your sibling could need. And the situation gets unwieldy if your sibling is a comic. Right?
Fret not! Here we share the list to make your gift gifting easier this Raksha Bandhan.
Rakhi gifts for your stand-up comic sibling:
- Box of Insults:
Given the fact that your comedian sibling is already used to heckling and people taking offence at their jokes, a small reminder of their stage time, BC – before coronavirus era, would be nice, and wicked. Buy on Oye Happy here.
- Tumse Na Ho Payega Mug:
A little reminder never hurts might hurt them a little, and they might hurt you a little. But it’s like butterscotch cool, sweet and clever. Buy on Amazon here. 
- Owl Kettle:
For the times, your sibling stays up scripting, working hard on their craft. Caffeine shall keep them up and running. Buy on Amazon here.
- Vipassana Meditation Chair:
Performers go through a lot of stress. With this cushy chair, not only can they medicate, but also comfort their butt when performing live on calls (Thanks to COVID). This chair can help them reduce stress while sitting for longer durations. Buy on Seniority here.
- Bubble Wrap:
For the moments when they bomb, or aren’t so happy about their performance, this a gift they can use. We all must agree on this one thing, bubble wrap makes everyone happy. Buy on Amazon here.
