Remembering the legends of Stand Up Comedy!

Those were the good old days!


In today's time, we have only a couple of Comedy shows that we can watch. Most of these shows have the same format and recently they have become talk shows with a funny twist. There was a time when Stand Up comedy was the In thing on Indian television. 

Shows like The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and Comedy Circus made us laugh out loud and have a really good time. There are these Stand Up legends that would make us literally fall of our seats with their brilliant comedy. Come let's take a look at some of these Legends whom we wish to see back on TV!

Raju Srivastav is definitely one of the best comedians out there. His sense of humor, when paired with his quirky expressions and acting, is the perfect formula to make even a grumpy man laugh! Raju had been seen in a number of films and shows earlier but he got his big break and fame from The great Indian Laughter Challenge. Every time I see a railway handle swing around I remember his face swinging from side to side!


Navin Prabhakar who hailed from Mumbai took the entire nation on a trip full of laughter and fun. His acts were just too good and totally original! His most famous phrase is still used by some people in conversations! "Paichan Kaun?"


Ahsaan Qureshi was a one of a kind shayar. What the audience really liked about him was his unique accent. His Sher's and Shayari's were on point and totally relatable. This comedian took real life experiences and made funny life lessons out of them!


Sunil Pal was the winner of the first season of the Great Indian Laughter Challenge. What made him the best of the best is that he was the most daring and spontaneous artist on these shows. Ratan Noora, Karta hu Kaam Poora was also the most demanded act in all of the live shows! If this guy makes a comeback on TV, he would give the big players a run for their money

5. Sanket Bhosle

This particular comedian is not so well known as the platform that he was given is not easily recognisable. Mimicry is a very important part of comedy and when it comes to mimicry, this guy is the best! Salman Khan to Sanjay Dutt to Farhan Akhtar to Kailash Kher and even Prakash Raj! He can do it all!
