One place women comics in India will not have to deal with creepiness," tweeted comedian and writer Radhika Vaz, as she shared a post on the upcoming edition of FemaPalooza. An initiative of Jeeya Sethi's Comedy Ladder, the show features an all-women line-up including Aditi Mittal, Sonali Thakker, Pavitra Shetty, Aishwarya Mohanraj, Niveditha Prakasam and Sethi. It is open to an all-women audience only.

The event comes in the wake of recent allegations of sexual harassment against comedian Utsav Chakraborty, which triggered women from different walks of life to call out men, many of them well-known, for sexual misconduct. A response by women comics to the revelations that has gained immense support within the community is the need to "help make the bullying and sexual harassment of women in comedy economically unviable" by buying a ticket to a show where a woman comedian is performing, as Mittal puts it.
