The post 5 stand-up comedians that will leave you laughing out loud appeared first on Humour Sapiens.
]]>Gaurav Gupta
Dentist turned stand-up comedian, this man endlessly trolls his family in a way that could blow your mind away. With his middle-class jokes that are so relatable, he tickles your funny bones. One of his stand-up specials: Market Down Hai is coming up on Amazon Prime on May 14. It’s all about funny incidents and anecdotes from family and relatives.
Zakir Khan
The Sakht Launda aka Zakir Khan is one of the best stand-up comedians we ever had. As good as he is with stand-up comedy, he is with poetry and acting. He rose to fame owing to his association with AIB, but his skills didn’t fail to sweep away the hearts of a lot of girls, though he remain ‘sakht’ as we hear.
Anubhav Singh Bassi
Born in a small town, Shivpuri in Madhya Pradesh, Anubhav Bassi has reached the skies. One of the few stand-up comedians with realistic tales and unmatched storytelling skills never cease to make us laugh. Lawyer by qualification, Bassi is a humorist by profession, and certainly the one that can light up anyone’s day.
Vir Das
If you are looking for content which is hilarious and intellectual, Vir Das is your go-to comic. His jokes are deep like the ocean and are deep into the realism of society. You need to sink in each and every joke of his to acknowledge his distinct comedy style. His stand-up specials Vir Das for India, Vir Das: Inside Out and Vir Das: Outside In were massive hits.
Aditi Mittal
One of the founders and co-host of AIB, Aditi is a stand-up comedian, an actor and a writer. She usually jokes about topics that have always been considered taboo. Pretty much vocal about the gender disparity women face, Aditi has subtly created ripples to stop this inequality. We can see Aditi recently in a show called LOL: Hasse to Phasee on Amazon Prime Video and it wouldn’t be wrong to call her an artist who knows how to keep all her audiences happy.

]]>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!

]]>Bonne Bouches from the video:
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!

]]>-
Dekh Bhai Dekh
Produced by Jaya Bachchan, Diwan family made our dinner times better. With the characters so relatable played by the entertainers like Shekhar Suman, Farida Jalal, Naveen Nichol who often found themselves in a soup, creating nothing but laughter for us.
-
Zabaan Sambhalke
Pankaj Kapoor’s impeccable dialogue delivery as a Hindi teacher, students from different states, hilarious twists and impeachable acting of all the characters is what was liked by the Indian audience.
-
Tu Tu Main Main
This was a saas bahu serial unlike the extremely melodramatic ones served to us today. It was a sitcom directed by Sachin Pilgaonkar. Tu Tu Main Main was a comedy based on the relationship a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law share within a typical middle-class household.
-
Shrimaan Shrimati
Shriman Shrimati had some memorable characters – the actress Prema Shalini and husband Dilruba, the neighbours Keshav and Kokila Kulkarni who covet other’s wife. Both of them making use of every opportunity to chance upon each other’s wives in a hilarious way, but every time their efforts go in vain.
-
Hum Paanch
Anand Mathur – the father of five crazy daughters who always used to get into trouble because of them. His dead wife who pestered him from the photo on the wall and his second wife who always sided with his daughters made the situation undeniably tough for him but fun for us.
-
Movers and Shakers
In the late 90s, Shekhar Suman’s chat show Movers & Shakers was a runaway hit with a good mix of comedy, satire and celebrity guests that entertained viewers. It wouldn’t be wrong to call it the Kapil Sharma show of the 90s.
-
Flop Show
Jaspal Bhatti’s Flop Show was contrary to its name, a hit show packed with satire on the socio-cultural problems faced by the common man.
-
Office Office
Office Office was another gem acted in by Pankaj Kapoor. It was a hilarious yet true take on the sarkaari attitude of government employees. While poor Mussadilal had run pillar to post to get his work done, the government officers weren’t reluctant to ask for favours. The show being so relatable often left us in splits.
-
The Great Indian Comedy Show
A pioneer of stand-up comedy scene in India, the Great Indian Comedy Show had actors like Ranvir Shorey, Vinay Pathak, Gaurav Gera, Suresh Menon and Raju Srivastav who made us laugh with their anecdotes.
-
Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai
The list is incomplete without this one. Though it came much after the others but made a safe place in our hearts like the rest. Rosesh’s poems and Monisha’s middle class take on everything, Maya’s sarcasm and Indravadan’s quirky comments, Sahil’s feeling of being held captive and Dushyant’s enthusiasm to repair things was just too hilarious.
