Can Chetan Bhagat tickle the funny bone?

Chetan Bhagat

The new season of One Mic Stand brings together a diverse range of personalities  to put forth their comic skills. Season 2 sees filmmaker Karan Johar, actor and entrepreneur Sunny Leone, rapper Raftaar, journalist Faye D’Souza and author Chetan Bhagat attempting stand-up comedy for the first time.


Bhagat, whose books have inspired many successful Bollywood films, including 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che, says the opportunity made him realise the difference between “writing and performing”.


“I had no inhibitions going into it knowing that Abish Mathew was guiding me through the process. He made a complete amateur like me sound like a pro-comedian, and for that, I think he deserves an award,” he said.


Bhagat was uninhibited about becoming the subject of his own jokes. “Making jokes on yourself [to get] people laughing at it is better than them making jokes on you. It has been an interesting journey — from books to OTT. It has been  filled with lots of learning and laughter,” he added. The show will be hosted by Sapan Verma.
