Office by Ravi Gupta
This one will surely tick all your funny bones if, every day, you get up to go to a place that you absolutely hate. Right. Your office. This ‘Main Kal Ki Chinta Nahi Karta’ fame comedian has made a place on the charts this year, and you must have seen his clips on social media.
Ravi Gupta has a unique way of storytelling that almost feels like a friend is telling you stories about their lives. This comedian has a simple philosophy that is even written in his YouTube bio: “I want to make people laugh because we have so many things to cry on every day!” Is he right, or is he not?

Abhishek Upmanyu by Jealous of Sabziwala
Abhishek Upmanyu is known for his everyman jokes and poker-faced delivery style. He has a hold over his audience, which is pretty evident from the 17 million views on this hour-long special. There are so many instances in this stand-up where he makes some serious statements, but you won’t feel heavy because it’s all wrapped in pretty comedy gift paper.
Jealous of Sabziwaala explores the sociological implications of what it’s like to be less-than-healthy. From talking about his Lisp, physical health problems, and the boredom of going to the gym alone to serious mental illnesses, Upmanyu doesn’t leave any stone unturned.

Behen Ki Shaadi - Stand Up Comedy ft. Aashish Solanki
The winner of Comicstaan season 3, Solanki, is one of the few comedians who are known for clean comedy. Something that you can watch with your whole family and be sure that everyone is relating hard.
As the wedding season is on, this one is a hidden gem for you to watch. Even more so if you are an elder sister or have an elder sister. One of the highlights that make this bit funnier is the pauses and the expressions while delivering a punchline. Solanki definitely killed it with this one.

Hanif ki Shaadi by Munawar Faruqui
We have another ‘Shadi Wali Comedy’ for you. Munawar Faruqui broke the YouTube dry spell with an exciting 30-minute clip titled “Hanif Ki Shaadi.” Gaining popularity after “Ghost Stories” and “Dawood, Yamraj and Aurat”, this comedian is loved for his smart jokes and also gets into controversy for the same.
In this special, Faruqui takes us on a wild ride through his best friend’s wedding, featuring a 40-hour train journey, a jam-packed car drive, and more. He humorously navigates his way to the wedding inside and out, surviving the chaos and adventures that come with it.
