After a long tiring day at work, or after a stressful week of exams or after a normal day spent at home doing all the basic chores who wouldn’t love a good laugh? And with YouTube and big OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime patronising comedians, names like Zakir Khan, Vir Das, Kannan Gill, Kenny Sebastian, Abish Mathew, Varun Grover, Kunal Kamra are a part of every dining table conversation. 

The Comedy Industry in India is growing and how? Slapstick comedy is not working anymore. The audience is expected to still laugh at cringe dialogues and a non-cinematic cat and mouse chase. Comedy, especially sketch and stand-up have come to the rescue. Most of the time, these comedians are common people among us, facing common man issues like traffic, pollution, relationships, government policies. 

All the more reason for the audience finding a relatability factor. Social media, YouTube and other platforms are catering comedy to all kinds of audience, making it easier for these artists to find their people and provide them content.

You perform a set at an open mic or a sketch at your home, upload a video and with the next sunrise, you could be a viral sensation. It all seems like a piece of cake. But like any other section of the society, the Comedy Industry has its troubles too. Comedians too need to work hard though to others it looks like they don’t. Among everything, the Comedy Industry hasn’t been spared of gender bias too.

But nothing so far has stopped them from being their confident selves and speaking the heart out. Women have chosen topics ranging from periods to sexual harassment and made the audience laugh. Struggles of women being in Comedy is no less than any other industry.
