A chemical engineer by qualification, a writer by profession and a stand-up comic by passion, Ketan Kumar Giri has been doing comedy for over 3 years now and his videos announce loudly that he is enjoying every inch of it.

He has recently come up with two new videos, which are quite a joyride!

Indian Food & Talented People

This is Ketan’s first video, and is all about people who are as talented and down to earth as it can get! But he tells us, those are the kind who trigger depression in you. As you while away the time on Instagram waiting for magic to happen, these gifted people are using their gifts to their full potential.

Ketan also talks about the time he decided to visit France…well, the French part of India and tasting French cuisines to his delight. This adventure ended when he figured that the only spices they were aware of were salt and sugar.

He ended the video with a concrete opinion about Raisins–“Raisins shouldn’t be called dry fruits, since they aren’t completely dry”–and the people who eat it.

Ketan also shared a secret in this video about why wine complements French food.

Watch Indian Food & Talented People to know it:

Birbal & Comfort Zone

Ketan’s second, Birbal and Comfort Zone leaves you pondering about a lot of things. One being, those people in our lives who are constantly talking yet not arriving at the crux of it all. He also enlightens us on ‘How did Birbal actually die.’ And no, it is not how you think.

Ketan also talks about the comfort zone and the struggles of life.

Stand-up comedy has gotten really popular in India in the last few years, and the shooting demand for stand-up comedy is followed by the (much-needed) reaction videos (just because, the comments in the YouTube section aren’t enough).

Reaction video involves YouTube enthusiasts watching a stand-up comedy clip, laughing and adding their own tags to the video. The reactions, sometimes, are as funnier as the video.

This article will feature the review of Kenny Sebastian’s comedy video by Jaby Koay, an American YouTuber, and his two friends. While Kenny Sebastian jokes about politics in India and how he loves making goon jokes, Koay and friends laugh out loud.

Jaby Koay is an American YouTuber, best-known for uploading reactions, vlogs, pranks and challenge videos. He loves and reviews Indian content on his channel all the time. At the moment, he has earned more than 1.51M subscribers on his YouTube channel.

Watch the reaction here.

Vasu Primlani, an Indian stand-up comic and an environmentalist, received the 2015 Nari Shakti Puraskar from the Government of India. She is pursuing her PhD on subjects dealing with pollution.

Layered with satire and logic, Vasu don’t just make you laugh, she makes you think too. Like all other comics, she talks about the issues that are important to her, such as civic sense, democracy, environment, civil rights.

Vasu holds up a mirror to society without being judgemental. She is an inspirational speaker and somatic therapist too who has worked with rape and suicide survivors, as well as rapists and murderers.

She uses humour to promote understanding among audiences who have had little to no exposure to the debate over LGBT+ issues. The combination of humour and awareness made her popular among corporates who started inviting her for the training sessions at workplaces.

Recently, IBM invited her to carry out a session for Pride month in June. Her approach has always been to start with comedy, and trickling down to offer tips on how to behave around LGBT+ colleagues.

Being among the very few comics who do stand-up acts in both Hindi and English, she admits to doing a lot of research and work on the ‘shuddh’ Hindi terms for her act.

She is sassy, she is hilarious. Check for yourself!

Doctor by day, comedian by night. Aditya Shridhar has been writing comedy since he was 16 and performing since the last 2 years. He has performed all over India in last three years. Aditya is known for his observational humour that revolves around his work, relationships and day to day life.

Aditya Shridhar’s first youtube video ‘Molester, CID and Pakistan’ has everything ranging from why he is called a Mole-ster, and that his phone’s facial recognition is flawed. Now that he works as Doctor – Forensics with the cops to solve murders, the map of Sri Lanka (😜) on his face isn’t helping much.

Here are the highlights of the video:

  • Thumb print on an agreement

7 masters of Hindi stand-up comedy https://humoursapiens.com/7-masters-of-hindi-stand-up-comedy/ https://humoursapiens.com/7-masters-of-hindi-stand-up-comedy/#comments Wed, 24 Apr 2019 17:38:45 +0000 http://65.0.3.216/?p=961 The comedy industry in India is largely centred in Mumbai and Delhi NCR and in

The comedy industry in India is largely centred in Mumbai and Delhi NCR and in the past few years has seen lots of admirable comics take up the stage in North India and rock. Though, most Mumbai comedians perform in English or Hinglish, the comics from Delhi NCR with their Punjabi or regional dialects of Hindi have gathered a huge fan base.
Not only do these comics embrace their skill but also kill whenever they perform. Humour Sapiens share with you a few comics, 7 precisely, who we think are all set to be the masters of Hindi stand-up comedy.

Jeeveshu Ahluwalia

The true blue Punjabi, Jeeveshu talks about food in this video and wonderfully explains how all mothers love to cook our not-so-favourite sabzi in every few days. Moreover, the importance of maid in the life of a woman is inexplicable. He defines is wonderfully. Enjoy!

Gaurav Kapoor

Being one of the best comics on observational comedy, Gaurav Kapoor unravels all the secrets, such as Bullet being the illegitimate child of Harley and the reason behind elephant missing ant’s wedding. He doesn’t fail to mention how it is important for Bullet owners to visit Leh-Ladakh.

Vijay Yadav

Stemming out of Haryanvi origins, Vijay Yadav’s comedy is culturally inclined. His Haryanvi accented Hindi adds a distinct charm to this video and makes it funnier. He talks about Scorpio being an inseparable part of Haryanvis, and the beatings and bullying to win in sports. You have to watch it to know it.

Manik Mahna

Incredibly funny Manik Mahna doesn’t have many videos floating over the web, but the ones that are will leave you in splits. In his unique, dry style of comedy, he is every ounce relatable. From studious classmates demanding extra sheet in the exam to playing hide and seek for days at a stretch, this video will revive your school time memories.

Chirayu Mistry

Talking his heart out, Chirayu Mistry tells us how Baghban the movie left him confused. He is at his funniest best when he mentions Amitabh Bachchan. And we must say, his logic is absolutely correct. He is amongst the few ‘humour sapiens’ who can give a funny twist to logic.

Parvinder Singh

He who speaks in a swift Punjabi-accented Hindi begins with “Punjabis in the house” and explains his first international flight to London. He also mentions how his trip to Wagah Border had an ulterior motive and we think it’s fair enough.

Jaspreet Singh

Paaji’s acts get funny with every second. After watching this video of Jaspreet Singh on Horror Movies, you will not be able to look at those movies again, in the same way. It’s logical, it’s hilarious and as one of the comments on this YouTube video states, “this sardaar is actually asardaar” – we have no two thoughts about it.
