Aditi Mittal: Creating the laughs
Comedian Aditi Mittal tries her hand at her first online comedy show, performing it on Zoom to an audience in their living rooms. How will it go down?
Aditi Mittal came to prominence as one of the first female stand-up comedians in India and has won plaudits for her work, observing what she calls 鈥渇empowerment鈥 and her life as an Indian woman. Her shows have toured around the world and been on Netflix. Now she鈥檚 writing new work from her home in Mumbai for her first online comedy show, and trialling it out on the internet. But without an audience in the room, and with new technical demands, it鈥檚 a challenge.
Yasmeen Khan follows Aditi over a month as she writes, performs, rewrites and hones her material. How will she adapt to the constraints of Zoom? And with India in the grip of Covid-19, how easy is it to find humour during this time?
