Users can subscribe to the live sessions in advance through an in-app page or can register themselves on Insider to watch it live on Helo.
One of India's most-loved comedians, Zakir Khan said, "Just Comedy Festival is a very unique show that I have been associated with, since inception. An online live event is a very new thing to me, but given the situation, this is the best way to reach out to the audience. I believe, Helo as a platform has a vast and diverse audience and that's what makes it perfect for such an event. I am thrilled to have got this opportunity and we all will do our best to entertain our users while they contribute towards the nation's well-being by staying home."
