2018 has been a craaazy year for India, content wise. While poetry and sketch-videos were trending on social media throughout the year, standup comedians left a mark on the audience too and how! With Facebook’s constant push to good content, standup comedy is not something that’s being run by a small fraternity anymore. Lot of fresh talent went viral and reached to millions of Indians this year. Thanks to platforms like Canvas Laugh Club and The Habitat.
While Jeeveshu Ahluwalia, Nishant Tanwar, Anirban Dasgupta, Appurv Gupta, Jaspreet Singh, Vinay Sharma and Abijit Ganguly dominated 2018, these upcoming standup comics are set to rule your hearts in 2019!
