This show, despite being a stand up show, is not funny at all. At times, you actually feel like throwing the remote at the TV for the horrendous jokes they make. Utter failure.

Now this is something which can be called a real "Reality show". Amazing and full of great performances. You also learn that comedy is not as easy as people think. Just loved it!

If you understand and love comedy, this is the show for you. I consider myself fortunate to have seen the birth of standup in India, followed it through its awkward adolescence, and have now seen it come of age with Comicstaan. The show format relies heavily on a point system, but if you ignore the "reality show" drama of it (though sadly this is probably what draws a lot of the audience in), this show is intelligent, laugh-out-loud funny, and incredibly self aware. People giving a one-star rating either don't get the humour, or have zero respect for how difficult live comedy is. You can't give amateur standup comedians a new comedy genre every week and expect them to consistently kill it, but what you can expect is to watch them grow, learn from their mistakes, and become better comedians. The judges are basically grooming their own future competition, and doing an amazing job of it too. Looking forward to season 2!

Has to be the best idea with the worst execution by Amazon in India. The 7th episode is an unmitigated disaster and shows what passes for comedy for these people. Tanmay is the worst judge. There are a couple of judges you'd never have heard of. The hosts are so boring! The contestants are pretty good though.
