Whoever said that making someone smile is the best feeling in the world, has said it all in just a few words. Only those who can make others laugh, perhaps know how addictive it is to get the upward curve on someone’s lips and those teeth all out. With the busy and stressful lifestyle these days, we all need someone to help us laugh out the negativities. Hence, the Stand-up comedy scene in India is better than ever. The need for laughter has people seeking more and more. And the stand-up community is catering to the demands.
Stand-up comedy is not easy. Most of us have horrible on-stage memories and stage fear issues. Going beyond all these and actually understanding the interest of the audiences’ and evolving according to the mood, the place, and the situation is the talent of a selected few.
I recently discovered the Stand-up Comedy section on LiveInStyle.com and I am completely hooked. LiveInStyle is the platform that gets you the best of parties, glamour, spirits, and fun. The Party section lists the most happening party places in the city, there is a calendar listing the events, a pub finder to suit the mood, and a party video section.
The Standup Comedy section features the best of the bests of the standup scene in India. You can find Kanan Gill, Gursimran Khamba, Ashish Shakya, Aditi Mittal, Vir Das, Vipul Goyal, Tanmay Bhat, Rohan Joshi, Praveen Kumar, and Abish Mathew. That’s an impressive lineup, isn’t it? One can find rib-tickling videos by these amazing artists of distinct styles here. They have some great reads on stand-up comedy like the history of stand-up, funny facts, stories, etc., as well.
Another interesting thing on LiveInStyle is a YouTube contest, called ‘Comedy Hunt’ in which people fight it out to be crowned as the next big comedy star. Currently in the challenge phase, in which the top contestants chosen by the judges face challenges every week and upload videos around that. After completing the challenges, the top 5 contestants, chosen by the jury, will perform with the mentors in front of a live audience and one of them will emerge as the winner.
Check out the YouTube channel Comedy Hunt to watch the mentors giving the tips, the contestants performing, the jury discussing the acts, and some more awesome content.
