Amazon Prime Video's Comicstaan brings together seven of India's best comedians -- Tanmay Bhat, Kenny Sebastian, Sapan Verma, Naveen Richard, Kaneez Surkha, Kanan Gill and Biswa Kalyan Rath.
Abish Mathew who is the host of Amazon Prime Video's upcoming show 'Comicstaan' feels that there was a lot of involvement of the judges in the show. Every round has a different theme which is mentored by the respective judge, therefore, when they would judge there would be arguments.
Abish Mathew shared, "There were so many arguments between the judges for points. This showed the involvement of the judges in the show." The trailer of Comicstaan was released recently and was hailed by the audience and critics alike.
Vijay Subramaniam, director and head, content, Amazon Prime Video India, says, "We are guided by our customers' tastes and preferences. There was a growing demand from our customers for comedy. Everyone likes to have a laugh. In the first year, we put up 14 Comedy Specials which did very well for us and now, in 2018, we have 20 Comedy Specials. While working with these wonderful people at OML, we realised there is an opportunity to build a pipeline for comedy in the country and hence, Comicstaan."
He adds, "The whole idea was to get these really talented faces in the world of comedy to mentor and find India's next big stand-up comic and through that, you create a pipeline of talent which also encourages a lot of people to come forward and not be shy about becoming a stand-up comic. So, in many ways, it is extremely helpful for us because it reinforces our commitment to comedy as a genre. It allows us to build a variety we are seeking and the commitment to work with the best comics there are in elevating stand-up comedy in India."
