Yes, that’s the joke

Comedy is watched across the length and breadth of the country. With the recent announcement of Comicstaan, Amazon Prime Video is all set to make comedy a center-piece in the online space. Today, as we celebrate International Joke Day, we take a look at some of the comics on Amazon Prime Video which promise a good laugh.

Laugh, all and sundry: Comicstaan 

Ten budding stand-up comedians shortlisted through a nationwide hunt compete to become India’s next big comic sensation. They are mentored and judged for their performances by Tanmay, Biswa, Kanan, Kenny, Sapan, Kaneez and Naveen. Hosted by Abish and Sumukhi, watch Comicstaan to find out who gets crowned as the future stand-up comedian. 

Extempore take: The Improvisers Something from Nothing

The Improvisers features Kanan Gill, Abish Mathew, Kenny Sebastian and Kaneez Surka who perform their first Improv Special; Something from Nothing. It is a completely improvised show where everything you see will be made up on the spot. Nothing rehearsed, nothing scripted.

Proud to be… Haq se Single 

In Haq Se Single, Zakir’s narrative takes you through his own journey of becoming the ultimate #SakhtLaunda. The guy who’s survived rejection, love and adulthood - who’s single and proud of it.

You can’t forget this: Take it easy 

Nothing in life is black and white, except Take It Easy, Anirban Dasgupta’s stand-up special. His material deals with hate and love in the hostile internet era, and why we need to take both the emotions easy. 

The last laugh: Keep it Real

In this hilarious one-hour comedy special, Kanan Gill squints at a variety of subjects ranging from the difficulty in talking to your parents to the Constitution of India. It’s easy to keep it funny but Kanan keeps it real.

Laugh out loud: Biswa Mast Aadmi 

Biswa Mast Aadmi is a stand-up comedy show by Biswa Kalyan Rath, where he cracks jokes on various topics.
