This craft is very challenging and I have a new found respect for stand-up comedians”, says Raftaar about One Mic Stand!
The new season of much anticipated show ‘#OneMicStand’ is all set to bring together the freshest faces trying their hands in stand-up comedy. These celebrated figures from different facets are all excited to make their way to the stage, light up the crowd and serve up plenty of laughs to the audience.
With One Mic Stand Season 2 just around the corner, the show’s trailer released last Friday and tickled people’s funny bone. The whole new concept of bringing stars from different walks of life under a single roof, the show is as interesting as it’s first season, but this time with a list of famous people showing their comic sides for the first time ever.
Raftaar after gaining a notable success with his uncountable hits, is now going to be a part of ‘One Mic Stand Season 2’. And as the trailer shows, he is absolutely amazing. Talking about his performance, the singer seemed quite delighted and shared his experience. He said, “I’ve always gotten a rush by performing on stage. I’m glad I did One Mic Stand 2 as I got to experience a new form of performance that is very different from music. I have seen the last season and it was absolutely fantastic. I loved all of the performances. I thought the guest celebrities had a great spirit and did complete justice to their sets.”
He further added, “I was nervous before going on stage because you know your lyrics will connect with your audience but comedy is subjective. Another inhibition I had was laughing at my own jokes while performing and looking like a total dork.” Apart from this, the music king even pointed out that how interesting he finds this show and it was no less than a challenge to be on-stage. Raftaar shared, “I am always looking to connect with different artists and this show is a great way to connect with artists not from a different genre but from a completely different space of performance. Samay Raina and I have a similar sense of humor so we got on great. I had doubts about how I would like performing comedy on stage, but I absolutely loved it. However I must say that this craft is very challenging and I have a new found respect for stand-up comedians. It is as fun as it is challenging.”
‘One Mic Stand’ is an incredibly funny and acclaimed Amazon Original Series. The show featuring Sunny Leone alongside the other iconic figures including Karan Johar, Chetan Bhagat, Raftaar and Faye D’Souza, will premiere on October 22. The show will be hosted by Sapan Verma and participating celebrities will be mentored by comedians including Sumikhi Suresh, Samay Raina, Neeti Palta, Atul Khatri and Abish Mathew.
