Have you heard about the new show soon to be on TLC? It’s called Queens of Comedy, and is aimed at giving women comics an opportunity in a field largely dominated by men right now. The first line on their website reads, “TLC India brings you Queens of Comedy, a platform for female comics who are ready to serve humour in every meal”. That’s supposed to be a joke (hilarious!).
Queens of Comedy is to be judged by Kaneez Surka, Richa Chadda and…Rohan Joshi. That’s not a joke. Why it was necessary to have him or any man judging a show called Queens of Comedy about all women comics, we’re not sure, especially since the whole point of the show is to bring women to the forefront of a male-dominated space.
Either way, their new promo is admittedly pretty funny. Check it out, and register if you’d like.
