'Comicstaan' Season 3 To Premiere On OTT This July; Makers Dropped Trailer

Amazon Prime Video on July 7, Thursday, dropped the trailer for season 3 of the popular comedy show Comicstaan. The popular stand-up comedy show first premiered in 2018 and the third season looks like it would leave the audiences in splits. Comedians Zakir Khan, Sumukhi Suresh, Neeti Palta and Kenny Sebastian turn judges while Abish Mathew will be hosting the show.

Along with Mathew, the internet sensation Kusha Kapila will be co-hosting the show. Reportedly, the show will have a new format, with eight contestants picked from across India and will be trained by seven mentors—Rahul Subramanian, Sapan Verma, Rohan Joshi, Prashasti Singh, Kannan Gill, Aadar Malik and Anu Menon — each week.

The &t=1s">trailer is replete with roasts, improv and jokes about the generation gap, homosexuality, romance and whatnot. Some even add the tempering of their funny real-life experiences. Even the mentors hit the stage and present hilarious and intelligent comic acts. The trailer shows Rohan Joshi taking to the stage and roasting the judges. It's no surprise he'll be mentoring the contestants in 'roast' comedy.

Sumukhi, who was a host initially and is now a judge on the show, talking about the new season said, "I've gone from being a host to judge across all three seasons and I am massively excited about the third season. Even though I am a judge, I learn so much from the contesting comedians. They remind you of the hustle of writing every day or the openness of learning a new skill (improv and sketch). I wish Comicstaan was around when I started."

The comedian was further quoted saying, "It's a crash course of all the skills that help you become a better comic and writer. OML has truly shown they are the best in the business of comedy by creating this concept."

Meanwhile, her co-judges Zakir Khan and Kenny Sebastian also expressed how the quality of the show has improved. Sebastian, in his statement, said, "It’s a place for comedians to get a massive leg up in the business. The best part is that the quality of writing and performance has gone a notch higher in the third season. I thoroughly enjoyed judging their performances, and I cannot wait for the audiences to enjoy it too."
