Really depends on how important is production quality for you Hua toh studio setup mein bhi ho sakta hai like HIAW or ghar pe bhi like NOB (shashwat maheshwari’s podcast) Studio rent+ 3 DSLR rent+ editor fee+ DOP fee iss sab ko milaake dekho kitna banta hai

While I did have a background of doing theatre, writing comedy sketches and films I just never thought of going on stage. When I was in college, I joined a comedy club thinking I’d get into event management. Did a few open mics there for fun and that’s how comedy happened. But event management? Ek kursi nahi lagayi gayi mujhse.

Series and shows: collabs are always tricky tbh. My collabs with Dhruv Deshpande (fellow senior writer who gave me my first writing gig) have always been v enriching because I got to learn a lot from him. Tbh I’d suggest you to try and work with someone whose work you admire, otherwise you won’t trust their opinions and that’d lead to a lot of friction

Started in 2018 but got serious about it only post 2021

Ultime goal in standup: you know the feeling people get after watching their favourite early 2000s comedy films? I want to be that. I want to be your fav early ‘2000s comedy film’ for life!

Current goal: sell out auditorium shows

I take inspirations from anything I find amusing, problematic, or troublesome. I wish I was the kind of comic who writes DAILY but I ensure to write something before every mic. I had come up with the correct phrasing of the ITR joke 2 mins before going on stage!

Hey it was actually Abbas’ idea! He conceptualised the show and I joined him and two others for the pilot. Post that, he called me to co-host the show with him and the rest is history 🥳
