Recently, the already overpopulated Indian stand up scene witnessed a flurry of new entrants with Amazon Prime’s new original show One Mic Stand. Created by Sapan Verma, One Mic Stand has made stand up comedians out of the most unlikeliest celebrities like Indian politician Dr Shashi Tharoor, Bollywood actors Taapsee Pannu and Richa Chadha, musician Vishal Dadlani, and YouTube star Bhuvan Bam. And even though the thought of that is exciting, there’s no guarantee that all five will manage to make you laugh.
So in case you’ve already watched the show and didn’t quite enjoy it, we’ve got you covered with memes that’ll make the One Mic Stand experience a little better. And for those who haven’t watched it yet, it’s always good to know what you’re getting into, right?

This is a call out meme for everyone who claims to love Urdu poetry but in fact has never even read a single Urdu word in their life. You know who you are.

Introverts volunteering as a tribute be like...
Richa Chadha knows what’s up.
We didn’t say it. Rohan Joshi did.
We apologise for getting too real, but it had to be done.
Need someone to constantly praise my sense of humour just like Kajol did to Ashfaq Miyan in K3G.
