More and more comics are coming up with political jokes, and the influence of political satire is growing. Does that mean Indians have grown a funny bone towards political comedy or comics have developed thicker skin and have become prone to abusive and threatening or negative comments?

The younger generation is sceptical about the news they receive from mainstream media, which is apparently straitjacketed, but prefer to be presented with all facts. And comics are doing exactly that, presenting condensed news without bias. The tongue-in-cheek way of narrating news sure makes you laugh but leaves you pondering too.

Some of the comics who are taking on the political comedy are:

Kunal Kamra

In a secret affair with Modi government, Kunal Kamra is habitual of taking on them with his political humour and accepts backlash in stride. A politician once told him, ‘’Go ahead, do comedy but leave politics for us.’’ To which Kamra says, “Sir, aap pe hi chhoda tha. Par aap log comedy kar rahe ho.”

Shridhar Venkatramana

Known for his ‘Prime Time Jokes’ – a series of Stand-Up Comedy videos based on the Prime Time news events that happened around us. He presents intellectually stimulating ideas which are hilarious at the same time.

Vipul Goyal

Apart from talking about Bollywood, relationships, advertisements, Vipul also enjoys talking politics in his acts. However, he ensures that he doesn’t offend anybody’s political sentiments.

Varun Grover

People these days are more aware now and are fed news at all times through all channels. This makes for a fertile ground for stand-up comics. His tour ‘Aisi Taisi Democracy’ is all about giving satirical twist to news, and audience fell in love with it.

Vir Das

Politics occupies Das in a big way! His gig, The Secret Set includes subjects related to politics, religion, racism and the Indian accent. He is often seen taking a dig at politics.

Azeem Banatwalla recently came up with his newest video ‘Man vs Fridge’ and it is nothing but Truth. He explains why every fridge in the world is always full, even Ambani’s.

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!
