]]>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!

Here are two of her videos. Check out!
Arranged Marriage
This is one hilarious piece where she is unable to believe why her being single is a never-ending reason of concern for her Gujarati family. She adds that her family would love to see her getting hitched, but whenever a boy comes to ‘check her out’ for the ‘prospective alliance’, why does he come with a platoon? She also talks about one Alok Nath that’s there in every marriage arrangement. Know what she means by that in this video.
Instagram and Dick Pics
Like most females on social media…even the males pretending-to-be-females, she too gets a lot of dick pictures. So, instead of being offended about it, she decided to mock those. Harassment is not acceptable. She feels, why keep it to inbox, share it with world!

]]>रोजमर्रा की अनुभवों से प्रेरित उनकी कॉमेडी बहुत वास्तविक होती है। उनके पर्फॉर्मन्सेस में उनका अंदाज़ लोगो को काफी पसंद आता है। पेश है Priyesh Sinha के साथ Humour Sapiens की गयी बातचीत।
1. आपकी जन्मभूमि चम्पारण रही है तथा मुंबई कर्मभूमि – अनुभव कैसा रहा?
ये काफी मिला जुला अनुभव रहा है अभी तक काम करते वक़्त फैंस से मिले प्यार और स्नेह से आनंद मिलता रहा और आगे काम करने का मोटिवेशन मिलता रहा वही दूसरी ओर घर से दूरी और हर बार अगले काम के लिए स्ट्रगल भी चलता रहा। हर किसी को घर से दूर अपनी पहचान बनाने के लिए अच्छे बुरे समय से गुजरना होता है। मेरे साथ भी वो सब हुआ।
2. क्या आप बचपन से ही कलाकार बनना चाहते थे ? स्टैंड अप कॉमेडियन बनने का ख़्याल कब आया?
नहीं, बचपन में मैंने ऐसा नहीं सोचा था कि मैं कभी मुंबई आऊंगा और ग्लैमरस फ़िल्म जगत् का हिस्सा बनूँगा। कॉमेडी के साथ मेरा हमेशा से एक इतिहास रहा है। स्कूल में आयोजित होने वाले नाटक कार्यक्रम में हमेशा से मैं हिस्सा लिया करता था। नाटक लिखना, निर्देश करना, यहाँ तक की एक्टर की कमी होने पर अपने दोस्तों को जबरदस्ती पात्र बनाना मेरा काम था। मेरे लिखे हुए नाटक काफी पसंद किये जाते थे। जब मैं इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेज में आ गया तब नाटक करने का मौका नहीं मिला। तभी मुझे स्टैंड उप कॉमेडी की जानकारी हुई और मुझे लगा ये मेरे लिए सही है। इसमें मुझे किसी ग्रुप की ज़रूरत नहीं। मैं अकेला ही लोगो को एंटरटेन कर सकता हूँ। मेरा पहला शो काफी अच्छा रहा और लोगों ने इसे खूब पसंद किया। जयपुर में उस वक़्त करीब 26 इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेज थे और मेरा वीडियो सारे कॉलेजेस में वायरल हो गया। उसी दौरान ग्रेट इंडियन लाफ्टर चैलेंज आया और भगवान की कृपा से मुझे कपिल शर्मा, सुधेश लाहिरी, राजीव ठाकुर जैसे नामचीन कलाकारों के साथ करीयर शुरू करने का मौका मिला। चूकि उस वक़्त मुझे अपनी पढ़ाई पूरी करनी थी, मैं वापिस जयपुर आ गया। मेरे आने के तुरंत बाद कॉमेडी सर्कस प्रोग्राम शुरु हुआ, और ये मौका मेरे हाथ से निकल गया। जयपुर में मुझे लोकल प्रोग्राम मिलने लगे। FM पिंक सिटी, BigFM जैसे प्रसिद्ध रेडियो चैनेलो पर मेरा प्रोग्राम प्रसारित किया गया। मुझे पहली बार अपने कलाकार होने का एहसास तब हुआ जब राजस्थान पत्रिका, प्रभातख़बर जैसी बड़े अख़बारों में मेरे बारे में लिखा गया। तब लगा की अब मुझे इसी क्षेत्र में आगे बढ़ना चाहिए।
3. आपके परिवार वालो की क्या प्रतिक्रिया रही? क्या वो आपके कलाकार बनने के समर्थन में थे या आपको उन्हें मनाना पड़ा ?
हाँ, घरवालों का सप्पोर्ट और मोटिवेशन हमेशा से था, लेकिन मैंने कभी यह नहीं सोचा था के मैं मुंबई जाऊंगा और कलकार बनूँगा।
मुझे हसाना पसंद था, मम्मी पापा को भी कॉमेडी का काफी शौक था। वो लोग जॉनी लीवर साहब के कैसेट को सुनते थे, उस समय कैसेट हुआ करता था, जो मुझे भी सुन्ना पसंद था। सुनते सुनते मुझे मिमिक्री भी आ गयी थी और स्कूल कॉलेज में जो दोस्तों और पप्रोफेसरों से प्रतिक्रिया मिलती थी, उसकी वजह से मम्मी पापा ने मेरे टैलेंट को समझा और हमेशा बढ़ावा दिया। उन्होंने कहा कि जब सब लोग इतना पसंद करते हैं तो आप उसको हमेशा अपने अंदर बनाये रखें। मैं रिलायंस में सॉफ्टवेयर इंजीनियर था; जॉब छूट गयी और जो कॉमेडी मैं पार्ट-टाइम करता था, वही फुल-टाइम प्रोफेशन बन गया।
4. आप अपने अनुभव को ग्रेट इंडियन लाफ्टर चैलेंज 3 पर कैसे रेट करेंगे, जहां आपने ऐसे लोगों के साथ प्रदर्शन किया, जो अब इंडस्ट्री के कुछ बेहतरीन नामों में से हैं। और आप हसी का अखाड़ा (जो आपने जीता) पर प्रदर्शन करने के अपने अनुभव को कैसे आकेंगे?
लाफ्टर चैलेंज का एक्सपीरियंस मेरे काम आया, शो हंसी का अखाड़ा में। जो ग्रूमिंग और तैयारी मेरी उस शो में हुई, उसके वजह से मैं हंसी का अखाड़ा का विनर भी बना। उस शो के जज सुनील पाल, प्रताप सिंह फ़ौजदार जैसे दिग्गज थे।
5. हंसी का अखाड़ा के बाद जीवन कैसे बदल गया है? क्या आपने कभी नौकरी पर वापस जाने के बारे में सोचा?
6. स्टैंड-अप कॉमिक के रूप में आपके सामने क्या चुनौतियाँ आयीं?
सबसे बड़ी प्रॉब्लम जो फेस करनी पड़ी और अभी भी करनी पड़ती है, वो यही है कि कुछ भी निश्चित नहीं होता। जब आपके पास काम है तो आप व्यस्त रहते हैं, आमदनी भी होती रहती है। लेकिन जब काम नहीं होता तो आप घर पे रहते हैं, बोर होते हैं और नए काम की तलाश में लगे रहते हैं। एक रचनात्मक व्यक्ति का या एक अभिनेता का घर पे बैठना आसान नहीं होता।
7. अभी के कॉमेडी सीन के बारे में आपको क्या पसंद है?
अभी के कॉमेडी सीन के लिए यही कहूंगा कि अब कॉमेडियन को किसी टीवी शो का या किसी बड़े प्लेटफार्म का मोहताज नहीं होना पड़ता। अब बहुत सारे ऐसे क्लब हैं, जहाँ वो परफॉर्म करके अपना फैन-बेस बना सकते हैं।
8. क्षेत्रीय कॉमेडी पर कोई टिप्पणी?
कॉमेडी किसी भी राज्य की क्षेत्रीय हो या हिंदी और इंग्लिश, उसमें मज़ा आना चाहिए, हंसी आनी चाहिए, और थोड़ा आकर्षक भी हो। क्यूंकि टेलीविज़न पर मैंने 10 साल गुज़ारे हैं, हाल ही में 2018 में Zee टीवी का क्षेत्रीय सा रे गा मा पा भी होस्ट किया है, तो मुझे एहसास है कि कलाकारी क्षेत्रीय स्तर पर हो या राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर, उसका मकसद ऑडियंस का मनोरंजन करना होना चाहिए।
9. किसी नटखट दर्शक के साथ कोई अनुभव?
फैन हर तरह के होते हैं। हम उनके बारे में कुछ भी बुरा भला नहीं कह सकते क्यूंकि वो जो भी करते हैं, वो प्यार में, या इमोशनल होके कर जाते हैं। मैं उनके भावनाओं की कदर करता हूँ और YouTube पर जो भी लोग मुझे कमेंट करते हैं, मई उन्हें जवाब ज़रूर देता हूँ, और उनमें से जो कमेंट दिल के बेहद करीब हैं, उन्हें अपने फ़ेसबुक, ट्विटर और इंस्टाग्राम पर ज़रूर शेयर करता हूँ। बहुत सारे ऐसे फैन हैं जो मेरे शुरुवाती दिनों से मेरे साथ जुड़े हुए हैं, वो अब बिलकुल फॅमिली के जैसे लगते हैं।

]]>He recently came up with his new video – Alle Baby Shona. It’s a Standup Comedy by Anshu Mor wherein he states that every teenager thinks that ‘Baap ko bewakoof bana sakte hain!‘. The video begins with a tweet wherein he calls his son, his content. As we proceed, we know why. This set is dedicated to his son and Anshu surely wasn’t very kind to him. He talks about everything from his locked room, to girlfriend and everything else that his son thinks that his father is unaware of.
Here are the highlights for us:
His action of entering his 17 year old’s room = His 17 year old’s reaction
Measures you take when you have a grown-up son
No room for you in my room scenario
On progressive parenting
Entering a teenager’s room without knocking can lead to mishaps
Watch his Alle Baby Shona, laugh out loud and pray his son doesn’t disown him:

]]>The post 8 rising comedians to watch out for! appeared first on Humour Sapiens.
]]>And these players are sure a delight to watch! Here’s a roundup of 8 rising comedians to watch out for!
1. Prashasti Singh: From being a 10th boards topper in Amethi, pursuing engineering, then MBA, and having a successful corporate run, to becoming a comedian is absolutely an unconventional way to fame. She starred in the first season of Comicstaan.
2. Kumar Varun: Married and has an MBA – that’s the information you will gather from his Youtube videos. His first ever stand-up video got 2.6 million views in mere three months. If you have been a fan of AIB’s Honest Engineering Campus Placements videos, you would probably recognize him as Failure. However, in real life, this engineer scored 9.06 CGPA, passed the CAT with a 99.3 percentile and completed his MBA from Faculty of Management Studies in Delhi. He came across his partner in Random Chikibum – Rahul Subramanian during his corporate stint at Mahindra. Together, they went on to win the Comedy Hunt organised by OML in 2015. Kumar Varun has starred in Amazon Prime’s Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare and appeared in TLC’s Queens vs Kings.
3. Aakash Gupta: As an active performer of the theatre club of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, Aakash Gupta honed his stage skills, and as per him improv comedy liberated him as a performer after which he decided to sign up for different kinds of comedy opportunities. After performing at open mic gigs for 2 years, he felt confident enough to upload two videos on YouTube in 2017, which are nothing less than a hilarious ride. Gupta is currently writing a solo one-hour show and planning to go for a multi-city tour in August.
4. Supriya Joshi: Most of us know her as Supaar Woman on social media. She was very recently seen on Comicstaan’s second season. Insider described her as, “caped crusader battling the pointlessness of life, one meme at a time.” She even made it to the Verve magazine’s (Em)Power List for getting back at fat-shaming trolls, gracefully.
5. Rahul Dua: Attaining the second spot in Comicstaan 1, Rahul Dua is beginning to get into the genre of political satire. He believes we are way behind in terms of stand-up comedy in comparison to international standards and wants to hone his skills before diversifying.
6. Nishant Suri: He describes himself as an ‘introvert comic’ and this introverted funny man won Comicstaan 1. Being an engineer turned investment banker turned wedding photographer, he decided to explore yet another field of comedy. He is loved for much relatable, self-depreciating humour. Suri along with Rahul Dua do live shows together and plans to go on tour in November this year.
7. Raunaq Rajani: His comic sense developed as a shield to cover his low self-esteem, or so he says. He had dreams of becoming a real estate agent, but eventually, comedy turned out to be a viable option for him. He came to light as a Comicstaan contestant. Rajani wants to create his one-hour show to tour across the country.
8. Anubhav Singh Bassi: Former Supreme Court lawyer is a hilarious storyteller. His video Cheating was no less than a fun masterpiece. His ‘Bas Kar Bassi’ is a 50-minute show on his lifestyle choices and career, that he performs in multiple cities, including Bhopal, Guwahati, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Gurugram, Surat, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Kolkata and Mumbai.
