I watched Punit Pania's live stand-up show in Pune about 4 years ago. He is one of my favorite Indian stand-up comedians, along with Varun Grover and Kunal Kamra. These are people who still have their spine intact and use their art form for highlighting the issues in our society. Here is the latest from... Continue Reading →

Between American Comedy and British/English Comedy I like the latter. Friends is hilarious. But Yes, Minister is outstanding! In general, British humour is far superior, sharp and intelligent!

Stand-up: I Come From Two Indias by Vir Das
One of my favourite comedians is Vir Das (in addition to Punit Pania, whom I watched live recently, and Varun Grover and a couple others).
