About ‘What Happens Next’:
Sumukhi Suresh, Richa Kapoor, Sketch in the City and Them Boxer Shorts stir the stage up with improvised comedy and sketch comedy. ‘Sketch in the City’ by Richa Kapoor and Sumukhi Suresh is a Hinglish (also pinches of Tamil and Punjabi) comedy sketch show with a filmy, overtly exaggerated take on life incidents. On one hand, we have TV serial actresses and their reality behind the camera while on the other, we have a simple love story between an unusual Arab couple. Don’t expect anything subtle because they are proud to be over the top and absolutely out there!
About Kiswa & Banana:
If you’re pissed with the unnecessary couple names thrown at you, Kiswa and Banana will restore your faith in humanity. In addition to having the least annoying comedy couple name, Kanan and Biswa will do what they do best – make you laugh and ponder over their deeply sad lives. Move over Kimye, Brangelina and Billary – nobody cares.
About Idli Minds:
An idli mind is a comedian’s workshop. This show gives a freeway to stand-up comedians Naveen Richard, Diptarka Ghosh, Aravind SA, Karthik Kumar, Atul Khatri, Kenny Sebastian and The Improvisers. When the majority is taken by the good comedians from the southern states, you’ve got to be ready for an idli reference, or two.
About Street Beat:
Experience the street wisdom of hip hop delivered by one of its most prominent contemporary proponents and another, a cult legend – Naezy and Baba Sehgal, backed by the million watt bass tunes of none other than Bass Master Nucleya.
