Ye Bhi Theek Hai, Ep 1: Just how good are Indian comedians really?

Risking cancellation, harassment and trolling by bigoted nutters and woke mobs, and who knows what else given the state of the country, Kunal Kamra and Sanjay Rajoura come out of hibernation from their social media caves to help restore balance to free speech discourse with a brand new show, Ye Bhi Theek Hai.

In this first episode, Kunal and Sanjay talk about the current state of Indian comedy – the meaning and purpose of a joke, the standards of Indian comedians, the hostile environment for comedians created by ‘cancel culture’, and what constitutes popular opinion and what does not.

They ask pressing questions, they seek compelling answers. Do they succeed?
