Finding humour in the lockdown or the pandemic is not easy. But comedians can be trusted to spread a few laughs even when everyone is restless and stuck at home. Over the last year, comics have been doing their best to keep us entertained with engaging content day after day on social media. It was a healthy distraction to keep themselves — and us — sane. 

Some comedians started the trend of live-streaming their daily activities, with a dash of humour of course, and had their audience in splits. During the deadly second wave too, a few of them used laughter as a means to comfort people. Comedian Amit Tandon hosted exclusive shows for Covid positive people who were staying alone, and comic Anshu Mor performed free online shows for doctors and nurses, for instance.
