Mumbai, Comedian Bharti Singh says she consciously self-censors her comedy and keeps it “clean”, primarily keeping her family audience in mind.
She also revealed that she has been working towards a one-hour stand-up comedy show with her husband and producer Harsh Limbachiyaa. “There’s immense pressure on stand-up comedians to create content that will garner the audience’s attention. Everyone has a different style of making people laugh, some may resort to cheap jokes, some adhere to clean humour. “I self-censor things keeping in mind that my mother is going to watch it too. She was the second runner-up on the show. The comedian, however, is open to acting in films and on OTT shows. “I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a one-hour stand-up comedy show with Harsh on OTT. “The only aim is to entertain people through the show.
Singh, who has been a prominent face on Indian television, said social media has created immense pressure on stand-up comedians to constantly produce content which grabs audience attention. However, I keep my audience base in mind, which is a family audience,” the comedian told PTI in an interview. Besides, I don’t crack jokes on topics I’m not aware of , I often crack jokes on food, family, etc,” she said when asked about cracking jokes on politics and religion. She made her TV debut in 2008 with the reality show, “The Great Indian Laughter Challenge”, and garnered immense popularity for her childlike persona named ‘Lalli’. Later, she appeared on several comedy shows like “Comedy Circus”, “The Kapil Sharma Show”, “The Khatra Khatra”, among others. We are working towards it, and it might take some time,” Singh said. If you see the episodes and the promos, you will see the celebrities simply enjoying the show,” she said, adding that much of the humour on the show is spontaneous. Singh is also working with Limbachiyaa on the show after a gap of five to six years and said their familiarity makes their professional equation relatively effortless and easy.
