It's five days, 15 shows and of course, a lot of laughs as the popular neighbourhood comedy festival returns in an online avatar. Stand-up comedy turns into sit-down comedy here and the festival is aptly titled The Circuit Comedy Festival #Sitdown Comedy. "We were building our offline festival with 150 shows across three cities in March but, we had to postpone it indefinitely due to COVID-19," says Rishabh Nahar, vice president, international business, Only Much Louder (OML), the company that is hosting the show.
