The Opening
The show began with Maninder Singh urging everyone not to shoot ‘Bass Kar Bassi’ and put it on any porno website, leaving everyone in splits.
The opening act was from Subhashish Bharuka who apparently doesn’t like his name and doubts that his birth was actually a mistake. He talked about how he committed some mistakes in his childhood, one of which is getting married. He further talked about how Lakshman from Ramayana is so undervalued, and we acknowledged his contribution in the most cringe-worthy way possible. Want to know how? You have to hear him out in his next show!
Next up was Rupesh Kumar Yadav, who talked about standing on the National Anthem for 34 mins due to bad connection, his friend Chikki who’s a ticket checker at a movie theatre has acquired a no-genre-syndrome. And much more. Check him out on his next.
Bass Kar Bassi
Then came the man himself – Anubhav Singh Bassi who appreciated Bangalore audience for understanding art. He shared how Gurgaon audience challenges him to try and make them laugh. He went on to tell everyone that his father didn’t know what he does until a few months ago. Bassi disclosed what his father thought he does. Hint…Gutthi.
Just then, someone from the audience told us about him being from Muzzafarnagar. Bassi leapt on the opportunity to make fun and left everyone rolling with laughter. He told how, even today Muzzafarnagar chaps call a ‘memory card’ as a ‘chip’ and ‘earphones’ as ‘lead’.
Anubhav also shared his struggle of preparing for IPS and renting a separate house. He talked about how he prepared such difficult syllabus, reading newspapers and living in the momo-town.
Lastly, he called it a day by bringing our attention to the songs by lyricist Sameer. We could never have imagined what he unveiled to us, sheer talent and creativity of the lyricist. This one is an unmissable joke inspired from reality, and is sure to make you say, “Bass Kar Bassi.”
From start till the end, from jokes to audience interaction, Bassi’s demeanor with which he conducted the show was a complete value for money.

]]>The post Sundays with Kenny Sebastian’s Ken & Chip appeared first on Humour Sapiens.
]]>This comic strip features Kenny’s childhood dog Chip and their imaginary conversations. Created in collaboration with Kochi-based illustrator Bhagya Babu, this series is sure to bring a smile on your face. Moreover, it recreates the joy of fetching that newspaper just to dig into every day comics.
Kenny posted on his Instagram feed for his 6 million plus fan base, “When I was younger, I remember how excited I was for the newspaper every Sunday, because of the comic strips.”
This comic strip is unique, for it highlights the world from the eyes of a dog. The quirky man and dog interactions is a delightful read. We cannot really complain about spending a little more time on chai with Kenny on a Sunday morning. Can we?
The latest edition of Ken & Chip is going to be out tomorrow. Meanwhile, here we share are some of our favourites from the past weekends:
Nope, it’s not a problem if it makes you happy!

]]>The post Comedy Night at Brook’s 37 appeared first on Humour Sapiens.
]]>How not to waste your Sunday night?
Suno Bey, an up and coming comedy club in Bengaluru Circuit organised a fun-filled event in the premise of Brook’s 37, a famous Bar & Kitchen in Brookfield. The setting was perfect, dim-lit ambiance, spacious and the stage was aptly set. The artists seemed promising and hosts amicable. And there we were, all seated and eagerly waiting for the show to begin.
The Humour Sapiens for the night!
Rishabh Kanishk as host, greeted all and introduced his comedy club ‘Suno Bey’. It was as if he was telepathically infusing energy into the audience at set to nosh on fun and food.
The show started with Sumit and Kishore cracking everyone up with their co-ordinated rapid fire. Their set of punny jokes was enough to set the mood. The audience thoroughly enjoyed it.
Just as the punny flight of questions came to an end, Sumit Naganath took the mic to treat the audience with his funny Superhero jokes. He pointed out that Superman and Louis Lane are always getting cosy when the world is in crisis and in need of a superhero. Also, his take on the Indian driving schools was laugh worthy. Got to hear him to know the essence.
It was then the turn for Kritesh Singh to jump into the spotlight. He reminded us how unskilled we are when it comes to bargaining. If we compare our capabilities with our mother’s, we suck! He highlighted, that considering the drought in our bargaining-skills department, we should never dare to bargain.
Ram came up next. He took the jibe on how useless Youtube is, and how over smart Google is. These two collectively do more bad than good to you. He humorously taught us that Google is not always right. Want to learn the lesson too? You got to hear him out!
Kishore Yadav, the next performer, made a funny comment on “dhokha” (betrayal) in friendship, and narrated how he had fights with his friend over the girlfriend issues. He also talked about his life goals, which are like the sci-fi movie character Hollow Man. Sounds Inspirational, no?
Debasish Rath took to stage. A funny Odiya guy who got married years ago. He was in the spot narrating his marital life issues and the ways he tackles them. This only left the crowd in a laugh riot.
The last but the best performer of the day, according to us, was Rishabh Kanishk. His act on ‘Son of Mishra Ji’ was extremely hilarious, and it fetched a loud applause. Hailing from Bokaro, a town that lies between MS Dhoni’s Ranchi and Gangs of Wasseypur’s Faisal Khan’s Dhanbad, you can expect the quality and aggression both. Before he signed off, he pointed out that girls are complicated species and his hearing out his logic on it was fun.
To sum up, the comedy night with Suno Bey and Brook’s 37 ended on a hilarious note!
Next Show:
Chai, Samosa & Hasi Majaak is happening on Dec 16th, 7pm onward at Mana Placido.

]]>The Humour Sapiens for the Evening
On Sunday, the 14th of October, Cuckoo Hostel, Bangalore saw such fantastic bunch of stand-up comics, the show curated by ArtKhoj and Hippo Laugh Club. Joteen, Ketan, Shamik, Anand, Kjeld, Kartikeya, Kabir, Shankar, Abhishek, Himanshu & Yash set the mood as a ton of goodwill surround the evening.
The audience consisted of the young and the old, appreciative of the art, heartily encouraging the comics. More so because, the comics were enjoying themselves while delivering their acts.
Fusion of Fun & Pun
Joteen Patro, the host for the night, kept everyone engaged and steered the evening in the right direction with his funny insights on following the passion & being so empty-pocketed that he gets to maintain zero balance accounts, quite literally.
First to enter the scene was Ketan Giri, who allegedly had hearing disability in one ear, that has apparently made life easy for him. It allows him to deal with way less BS than the rest of us. Though he has one regret of not being able to utilize the handicap quota. You have to hear him out to know why.
Shamik Chakrabarti came next and narrated his tale of accidentally taking a wrong number that ended up opening doors to a whole new business opportunity as a morphine dealer, and an alternate career as a cancer doctor.
He was followed by Anand Rathnam who talked about his really bad luck. He regrets killing a rat on Ganesh Chaturthi day. His mother feels that because he murdered the vehicle of Lord Ganesha, he is trapped inside his house now.
Kjeld Shreshth is waiting in anticipation for the day when the women will use his body for their benefit. His mother assured him, it will happen, one day when he grows up. But the wait doesn’t seem to end.
Next came Kartikeya Fatwani, he innocently told how he got thrashed by his parents all his childhood. It was as if his parents made a living by beating him dedicatedly. Moreover, his parents had quite a few unreasonable demands, such as making the next Stephen Hawking out of him, which left him wonder if they are really that ignorant.
Kabir Kandwal gave us the legit reason for why God doesn’t stay on Earth. Maybe humans are just too creepy for God’s liking. He also twisted the statement, ‘if you don’t have an iPhone, you don’t have an iPhone’ and stated that, if you have an iPhone and it falls, you don’t have an iPhone as well as the reason to stay alive.
Then was the turn of Shankar Chugani who compared the commentaries of football and cricket, pointing out how weird it would be if cricket commentaries happened like those in football. Not just that, Shankar also made a valid laugh-worthy argument when he said that crickets towards the boundaries have all the time in the world to indulge in fan-entertaining activities.
Abhishek Aggarwal came next, he educated us on the difference between Bangkok and India, and why Bangkok happens to be a better place. Well, obvious!
It was Himanshu Gayatri Parikh’s turn to take the stage. He became a voice of all the sufferers of family whatsapp groups and how he used to get the maximum chocolates when he was a kid. Want to know why? You have to hear from the horse’s mouth.
Yash Gayatri Parikh aka Chunnu followed his brother to the spotlight, and shared how his face drags him into unexpected problems. We think he has gotten used to being eve-teased on the streets of Bengaluru. Tsk Tsk.
Want to Check them out?
Don’t you worry, if you missed this one. ArtKhoj & Hippo Laugh Club are coming up with many more open mic events.
Next one is at Gold Bean Café, HSR, Bengaluru on Oct 17, 2018.

The Humour Sapiens
Namit Jain, Arvind Sunder, Sparsh Kumar Sinha, Yash Gayatri Parikh, Pronoy Chowdhury, Lakshaya Malhotra, Maninder Singh, Ritesh Banerjee, Abhishek Aggarwal, Rupesh Kumar, Rrahul Topiwala together presented an evening full of laughs, at the comfy café.
The audience was a mix of young and old. Well, a handful oldies, in all honesty. It was great to see them relish the madness.
The Matter of Jokes
The trainload of jokes and anecdotes was steered by Namit, who was indeed great at being funny. With a mix of political, carnal jokes, he drove the whole show with finesse and ease.
Rrahul Topiwala, with an extra R and a lanky figure floored everyone. Byproduct of a Gujju and Punjabi matrimony, brought to light that intermissions are so awkwardly placed in the Hollywood movies. Unlike Bollywood, where Shah Rukh Khan unveils intermission as he walks off the frame, Hollywood is so abrupt that the LIC ad comes up out of nowhere.
He was followed by Arvind Sunder, the big man full of diet. Distressed with his life, he told the audience his Tinder experience. Wherein, a girl gladly gave her phone number as 100, and on calling up, a female answered who planned on getting handcuffs while coming to see him. Aha. “kinky”, that’s the first thought that crossed the mind of our comic.
Rupesh Kumar Yadav, came with a small paper in his hand, which he stated is his habit. He keeps a note so that he doesn’t forget things. He, however, was extremely disappointed because his school mates and teachers never understood this simple fact. When he carried that paper to exam halls, they were insensitive enough to tag it as cheating. Unfair, isn’t it?
Next came Sparsh Sinha, who allegedly looks creepy and stands like a superhero. Once again, the victim of Tinder inside him spoke. He didn’t seem happy that men need to make a lot of effort on Tinder, but women just need to have their gender ‘female’ as the eligibility criteria to land a right swipe.
It was now the turn for Lakshaya Malhotra, who assured everyone that the dead fish in his aquarium wasn’t eaten with rice for dinner that evening. However, he seemed unsure of why he doesn’t have to go to office after asking for work reports and updates from his boss on his tasks.
Then came Chunnu aka Yash Gayatri Parikh who didn’t seem happy with his face. To be precise, his puppy face, that gets a lot of attention from all the wrong people. We are sure, he soon would get his aadhaar card tattooed on his forehead.
Ritesh Banerjee’s entry was greeted by a powercut. (hence, this picture via the Black Buck Comedy) He shared about his twisted family, that likes to either visit a doctor or wash clothes. His mother’s fascination to wash clothes has reached a point that on meeting people, she now asks for clothes to wash, as niceties.
Abhishek Aggarwal was a pani puri enthusiast, who compared the earth to a pani puri. Also, he made the audience ponder over the possibility of pani puri given same respect as national anthem. You’ll have to watch him to know why!
Everyone was in the fun train when Maninder aka Funny Manny entered the scene. He talked about his friend who came to Bangalore from Delhi like a baba black sheep with 3 bags full. When asked, what did he get, the reply left the audience rolling with laughter. His friend had got, “Swag, BC.”
Last but certainly not the least, was Pronoy Chowdhury. Okay, well, least in the height. And his act revolved around his father’s attempts on making him tall, experimenting with everything from milk to milk with complan and to pushing him towards a sport that tall people play – Basketball.
As soon as Pronoy left, Namit dived in the front of the audience, without wasting a second, with his yet another fun stuff. He called it a day, after cheering for the Black Buck Comedy team, who put together the entire show!
Like some?
If you missed this one, fret not! There are many more shows lined up.
Next one is on Oct 12 at Insta Wash Cafe, BTM, Bengaluru. Book the tix here: https://in.bookmyshow.com/bengaluru/events/stand-up-comedy/ET00085052
