- DirectorSiddharth VasaniStarsNeville ShahIn this show, Neville narrates stories about his struggles with his age, being orphaned, adulthood, death, depression, divorce and suicide. This isn't the only thing that doesn't make it a regular stand up special, it's also that he's doing it sitting down. He treats his audience like his therapist and pretty much leaves them bereft of hope but bloated with laughter. It's dark, it's poignant, it's melancholic but it's hilarious. Considered one of the comics with the darkest material in India, Neville doesn't disappoint. The topics he deals with are narrated anecdotally, making them approachable. He doesn't make fun of them; he makes fun about them. Afflictions, vulnerabilities and flaws are a part of human beings and Neville takes his feelings about them, analyses and then presents them. It's a perspective of someone who is going through them. And you see him crumble and rise with each story, you can also see him going downhill.
- DirectorOmar IyerNayantara KumarSavinay ShettyStarsKarunesh TalwarKarunesh gives another hilarious performance that's filled with astute observations.
- DirectorNeville ShahStarsGaurav Gupta'Market Down Hai', Gaurav Gupta's one hour is a spot on culmination of years of observation and personal anecdotes on the Baniya Way of Life. Having experienced that since childhood, he draws his humour and relatablity from his own personal experiences which not only make it engaging but also allow us insights on hacks to survive the word of Business Conquering Baniyas, as he likes to call it. Gupta in his own effortless style and approach to call out and make the best of his own personal experiences, humours us all in this one hour, it's everything but mundane.
- DirectorAngshuman GhoshStarsZakir KhanAfter the massive success of Haq Se Single, Zakir is back. He is taking a step back, literally. In his latest stand-up special Zakir is taking his fans back to the times of school bags and friendships. He draws up experiences from being in all boys' school to talking about co-ed school. How the experiences of studying in both schools made him wiser and his experiences richer. He shares stories about boys, girls and boys stories about girls. From bullying to friendship and basic survival instinct that kicked in while just living through the years. All the cumulative years of experiences and stories that took to some unknown corner of his mind is being sped up and narrated in this special. He talks about the most intimate relationship in his life, the one that he shares with this father and how that molded him into the man that he is now. Zakir is indeed a unique act, and it's easy to see why. To say the least, this special is an intimate couple of hours about growing up and surviving through life.
- DirectorAngshuman GhoshStarsRohan Joshi"Hysterical", "unmissable", "magnificent", "profound" are all words. Coincidentally, Wake N Bake, Rohan Joshi's first stand-up special, also has words. After almost a decade in comedy, one of India's foremost comedians and online has words to say about life in one's thirties, home renovation, (thrilling, we know), not being cut out for marriage or roadtrips, and living a 420- friendly life (oh so now we have your attention. Typical). Some of those words are even funny. The seamless hour-long narrative is a tour of all the things that keep Rohan up at night, which, as it turns out, is pretty trivial stuff, because he's basic like that. It's an hour of comedy you'll never forget for five minutes.
- DirectorSiddharth VasaniStarsBiswa Kalyan RathBiswa Mast Aadmi is a stand up comedy show by Biswa Kalyan Rath, where he cracks jokes on topics. It's funny to the audience and they laugh, thus creating sound. This in turn encourages Biswa to crack more jokes, so he cracks more jokes on topics.
- DirectorSiddharth VasaniStarsBiswa Kalyan RathA carefully assorted platter of raw but delicate jokes skillfully assembled with great care and precision from thinly sliced observations caught from the sea of existence of humanity on planet Earth that leaves your soul feeling cheerful, happy, content and light.
- DirectorKaran AsnaniStarsGaurav KapoorHahaKaar is a culmination of 50 minutes of random jokes and stories from Gaurav Kapoor. It's basically stories from his life or his friends' life or friends of friends' life. However, he will tell it like all these things happened with him and he is the victim of a weird school, weird job, weird trips and weird friends. Also, there are a lot of lies in the show which you will never know.
- DirectorAakash MotianiStarsRahul SubramanianRahul Subramanian's stand up comedy solo 'Kal Main Udega' is filled with unrelated topics, no transitions, inconsequential takes on consequential subjects and also a bit of mildly bad dancing.
- DirectorSizil SrivastavaStarsKanan GillIn this hilarious one hour comedy special, Kanan Gill squints at a variety of subjects ranging from the difficulty in talking to your parents to The Constitution of India. It's easy to keep it funny. Kanan keeps it real.

- DirectorKaran AsnaniStarsAnirban DasguptaIf you are easily offended by jokes, the result is more jokes. Nothing in life is black and white, except Take It Easy, Anirban Dasgupta's stand-up special. His material deals with hate and love in the hostile internet era, and why both these intense emotions need to take it easy. This hour-long set captures Anirban trying to comprehend events from the past year at home and at work; events he would rather forget unless he wrote jokes on them. In 2017, Anirban had to take down a clip that contained his stand-up set on people from Kolkata and their reaction to one of the most controversial mysteries in the nation's history. This added to India's ever growing list of frivolous cases of offense on the internet. Comedians currently have to seriously self-censor their material to protect their interests in a hostile and frenzied climate. Anirban narrates this eye-opening experience from the year gone by and explores the idea of absolute freedom of expression. He also tries to find a solution to this never-ending problem of outrage over everything. He shares personal stories from the last year and attempts to explain why not having kids is the correct choice for this generation. He hopes his family sees the show to understand him. Anirban Dasgupta is a comedian and writer from Kolkata now based in Mumbai. He has been doing stand-up for the last five years, has performed extensively across the country and is a regular headliner at the top comedy clubs and properties of India. Take It Easy was performed live on tour across the country from November 2017 to June 2018.
