One Mic Stand

OMS is a great and fresh concept that is also damn funny. It speaks to the audience by being real and exposing the process that goes on behind the scenes and is a welcome step. The show by Vishal Dadlani was extremely cool for bringing about an uncomfortable topic, something we don't generally engage with. The shows by Taapsee and Richa Chadha were weak as stand up performances while the ones by Bhuvan Bam and Vishal Dadlani were great. Getting in Kamra in the end was really funny (as a set) but very predictable with Shashi Tharoor being the main act. BUT Shashi Tharoor rocked the stage - nailed it completely.

Sapan was great as always but the show lacked punch, in general.

Other than being funny, what struck me the most is to see celebrities being vulnerable and scared. We got to see them in a natural habitat, instead of how they're portrayed even in social media interviews. This show is definitely worth watching to witness that aspect alone.

This series tells us about what it is to be a stand up comedian. I liked watching this show because I came to know about the different side of our beloved youtubers, actors and composers and their effort to be a stand up comedian. Thos show gives the respect and fame what an stand up artist should get and lovely watching them performing out of their comfort zone.

Shashi Tharoor has some serious sense of humor. His performance was the best out of the 5 celebrity performers. Bhuvan Bam's performance is at number 2 and then comes Taapsee Pannu's. Vishal Dadlani's was the worst. He forgot his lines multiple times and was using foul languages in every sentence, making it a vulgar comedy.

The idea got me interested, and the people in it got me to watch it. These weren't professional comedians, and as far as first standups go,the sets were delightful. I liked the balance of training, writing and performances inside the episodes. The cast was well balanced as well, in my opinion - a youtuber, two actresses, a musician and a politician. I'd watch more if they made them. Too bad it's on behind a paywall: I would love to see more on youtube and such.

Kunal Kamra's posture needs some serious work ffs.
