Description
We always knew this would be a hilarious episode. What we weren’t prepared for was how profound it would be.
Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Abish Mathew speaks about content, comedy and his process.
What’s your favourite brand of Abish Mathew comedy? The talk show host one? The musical comedy one? The one-man-act one? The weird Reels one? The sketch actor one? The good ol’ standup one? The improv one? The answer is yes.
We peer into the colourful, zany, beautiful mind of one of India’s most versatile comedians. But his is not just a kaleidoscope, for he also thinks deeply about comedy. So from Son of Abish to Journey of a Joke, Abish’s output covers a spectrum of formats, and vibes.
In this conversation, we learn about Abish’s love for collaboration, spaceships and boredom. While this will thrill his many fans, there is also a lot of advice for creators and budding ones. What amazed us as hosts is how relatable we could find so much of this - from nurturing a seed, to overcoming impostor syndrome, to finding joy in the process.
We wanted to peer into his mind, but he really did bare his heart to us. Enjoy.
