Welcome. To the show. Hello. Bye. Thank you for having me here. So we recently have the video. So how was the experience of getting viral? It's a very mixed experience because when you upload something, you don't know that whether you will attain virality or not. Because sometimes Internet works in mysterious ways, especially social media. So the first time I uploaded the video.
So I was very unsure because as such a lot of comics, fellow comics were uploading and they were not getting as much response. But then I am glad that the short video format really that went viral so that attracted a lot of people to my YouTube video which very rarely happens and then I became a meme material. So yeah All in all it's a very mixed experience. I am still digesting it. This may be we have, we have been doing stand up for about 6-7 years now so.
Long time, right? So kind of was expecting this to happen, but I'm glad that it happened after a long delay so Instagram chances other views the same content. As a merry video, Nikal Keko, you are up in a channel Padalay or uska viral Ojay or meri apne me views nai I are who I so zu. Book or PHP Dalai upan apna ID credit laga ke contrast badaki ganavan adal diyas in a odissa wala jolley.
You to pay Kuchar punch various to comedians with they come in like yeah riya Tom maybe kartha home open in those to the beach to is Kuja Kemujay stage for kanaji professionally kanaji that's how I hit open mic and when I hit open mics I realized that I'm kind of good at it so then he then. Took help from them to guidance from them, and then I started the scene here and that's how Comedy Highway came into existence. And that has been that way. More people started in back in 2016, right?
And right now 23 Kitna. Better bohad, better exponents. East to the power X qk AB kitni resources and up to this data he kitna natha. Those are Solana. Rosa Solam Akapatha app paisa dekh Internet is the Jio nita jio chodo ya normal 3G badiva you know to apake. Data was costly back then. Right up data of mobile data of
Kartaka kita. Mobile data of Kartaka Ki Kartaka Ki Ki. Itanasari 2 videos in I think videos in Internet paravi aaj kismanam Indian stand up scene say kisiko up abdus logo koi pachan pav you know so that is there when data you have so many people to see and learn what to do. So many videos that will tell you what not to do in comedy. Which Bhati assag. A lot of data is there to learn and implement the right form of
comedy that works for you. Apart from that, of course, Bhubaneswar seen there have been lately there have been a lot of new entrants and exponential growth is labeled wrong because now we have a proper comedy club in the space. So Yampeto shows Othi Ratha her weekend bar Sekamedian Ana, like the bar Sekamedian I have today. The Calcutta, Mumbai. Delhi. Karka chale. A kind to get be cry Gary take a about messages I am so yeah dedicated space. Open mics. Tom Go cafes. My Jacky py.
But the struggle is same for every set is growth. This is a process basically starting from open mic. Mushroom. So you have been comment like for six years? Six and a half, Six and a half years, according to you. What is the art of writing the perfect joke? There is no hard fast rule up case. We will accept the. OK, lokbalnaya comedy sikhaya. There was a startup of the bandugya. This may be as a faculty front row, so this may be as a faculty to my workshops.
But over the time when I realized Funny hona so se pehla to ye kya funny ho ho, fundamentally primary. Just a man personally. Mera alagya zakir bhai. Just a storytelling girl. Mera alagya map punchline Paliktom. So same in climax Palailaka. So character or environment create kartha like methylene type custody telling a Jabhava koha lakey chalraag journey pair format. That's OK hand fast ruling for someone who is starting, right?
Now it's like starting basically from the open mic and then yeah, yeah, till date we do open mic Ville. Open my Sothika Janakili OK open make my to audience Kamati OK or what are a newcomer so they do even though newcomer so they on go first time. SSI Janavala Kapura show It's like host Uthara headlining act type Kautha. Remember a senior. Local comics You thought a senior but Mike Utana? Karab Najay, but Mike to Karaj N.

You know. Gana to koibi gallega. No offense to musicians. Dance to koibi gallega CK No offense to dancers. Poets please take offense. Rhyming words to may here poet Look bechel over there. Heartbreak ke Badkaskar. So for stand up we are it process anarchy instant hasana to apka koibe art form of the yusra Jo stage art format and methaliya stand up we are dynamically measure out there so you have to stand to the audience so you take back instant feedback so that way its
different and. Tough also after building this community in Bhubaneswar basically, right? What are the growth perspective you see from here in the space? What? Can be money wise everything like building the community, growing it and money with us. Money wise for we think here we though people are. Instead of calling shires poets dancers for their cultural activities, they are preferring stand up comedy. So we get money. Community building a It's a very
tight scene. We have only 1516 people in Bhubaneswar doing stand up. So I when I started, we were just four people to matters the kettle. Or maybe give up, but stand up. Withstand withstanding, failure is very important. Traditional WhatsApp sent me up. They're gonna job data memory cards and I got to send to my coach Clips. So I've done, like, various college shoes, right? College shows are always fun. Crowd already hyped up with you, they're just happy to see you
there, you know. So Tana jokes merits personality merit because you are the staff in the college show. But of course for content can be restrictions. Mix experience Abta Madani Arata College shows me Lamma Karuna college shows. But AB Jada why club shows me Wagara Mahari Japamu Jatholi employed Janta you know a service valley Janta Mujee military.

US client Sapna So Ratsko, that's why just like a sovacha Vajataka shift feruskat Gariyal Kitra SRT in the Ferruto Ramsalan Chaanj. Kind of arts scale. The trend may, but they were seeing a toll on my health also, So I had quit. Have you the better experience? Then later I did MBA, joined a
bank. Also bad work culture. So I was like, OK, fine, because I couldn't go up on stage only in the in the couple of months that I was there in the in the bank. So I was like, it's fine. I mean, I can. I think I have the potency to earn equivalently in comedy. That's why I quit. How does the comedian? Depends which one, Zakir. No, Too many. Someone who is starting right or. Within like someone who is starting doesn't turn within two years or three.
Years depends where which city and how are you performing. Impact the location can impact the locations are demand predict to that. Janzada demand I'm up. A comedian Jandi grokar Ki Jandi shows kar janta demanding after demand create karna padra. So total pan sale. OK. Yes, Bhuvada. Coffee post COVID area was actually something which actually communities and all of these. Post COVID During COVID also we had zoom shows.

So in theory, Comedy Highway started in 2018, but 2017 say Inception. We just didn't know what to call it after the by the time Devachan came, we had formed Comedy Highway. I had formed Comedy Highway, but it was a very select number of people, 4-5 people.
Then Devachan got added there. And then now the community is big enough to hold 16 to 17 people in as a as a collective and good experiences Bahatacha.
