themes for every episode. In addition, the finale episode saw the
gangs presenting a fun-filled and hilarious dance performance on
select Bollywood chart busters. Laced with mind boggling performances
by the gangs, the finale was one of the most entertaining episodes
to be remembered by all.

year with stand-up comic enthusiasts auditioning across Mumbai,
Delhi, Ahmedabad, Lucknow and Kolkata and giving their best comic
acts to participate in this unique contest.
