I am very excited to introduce a new sub-format of Simpleken. Two types of people! This was inevitable cause having such funny friends leads to us playing a lot of games. So why not a comedic one? We have wonderful guests like  @AakashGupta ,  @ShreejaChaturvedi and  @shamikchakrabarti featuring in this one!  A debate game where we choose a topic and defend it! We have topics from Outside food and Inside food to Relaxing holidays to an activity filled one! I don't want to spoil the rest! Hope you have fun watching it :) Video Block Double-click here to add a video by URL or ..read more

I have been a big admirer of Anirban's writing for a long time. It's a shame I haven't hung out with him as much as I want to. This episode I wanted to explore a topic we seldom talk about in this episode (And not seen in most other online conversations)...being a first time dad as a millennial. Obviously having a child is primarily a mothers journey but why not talk about the clueless man next to his partner watching and wondering what does a father do in 2024? This conversation was fun, lighthearted and also quite nerdy considering the detail we go into about performing stand up comedy acros ..read more

I learned the various aspects of friendship in this lovely conversation with Prashasti and Saurav. The way they support each other in ways that enable space, growth and also a chance to be vulnerable was so eye opening to me. Through out the episode I kept bringing up how envious I was of such a wonderful friendship. We also answered a lot of questions from the audience. A lot of laugh out loud moments in the episode with topics that are so specific to our lifestyle that I am so excited for all of you to watch it! Audio Version ..read more

I am a fan. Hoezaay is the effortless comedian who blurs the line between artist and art. Hoezaay is funny and what Hoezaay does is also funny. The sweet, calm and chill vibe that he exudes is also what I got to experience while sitting down with him for the first time (Usually we are standing). I always wanted to pick his brain on many things like navigating through so many decades of being in the Indian entertainment business. We spoke about his family, how he started and his strictly financial goals. I hope you enjoy this episode. Audio Version ..read more

It's good to be back after so long. After touring America and Europe I was itching to do a Simpleken episode. I had spoken to Nirmal and Abhishek that I was very keen to pick their brains about their journey so far. I love also exploring what makes two very creative minds gravitate towards each other. They spoke about how they work together, feeling alienation from the scene and what the future lies for them. We explored being in a relationship and also being single. Of course, Existential dread was also brought up as it is tradition with every episode. Hope you enjoy watching this as much as ..read more

It's been 3 years! I had to celebrate this occasion (and Valentines Day) by bringing four experts on love, relationships and life for this episode. I was giddy with excitement to pick their brains on topics that I love over analysing. It's always a riot with 4 fine comedians. We got a collection of lovely questions from our audience including thoughts on cheating, parents, why we love and love languages. Hopefully you enjoy watching (or listening) to the 3 year anniversary episode of simpleton. Also announcing our BRAND NEW SIMPLE KEN Youtube page. Where we will be putting up excerpts of our f ..read more

In this solo episode, I share my biggest recent difficulty...Breaking up with friends! I also cover some recent life updates, the bubble of being single for too long and getting comfortable, the guilt of being somebodies child in India and how school goers are succumbing to serious mental health concerns. It feels good to do a solo one after a long time. Hope you guys enjoy it :) Video Version: Audio Version ..read more

It brings me great pleasure to welcome you into my most hardcore-comedy-friendship group. The conversations I have with Rohan, Shreemayee (Weepli) and Kumar could be too intense for the novice comedy viewer. As four comics who enjoy sarcasm, self aware gossip and over the top generalisations, I couldn't hold my excitement for this one. We talk about how we deal with the over load of information we receive on a daily basis, the misuse of "emotional investment" and get into a classic Kumar Varun rant at the end about artist and social media.

It's not everyday you have Mumbai high court lawyers on your show. Aneesa & Ranjeev also happen to be my closest friends. Adding to the mix is a producer from Vice India, my good friend Aniket Dasgupta. This episode talks about how overwhelming understanding the law is, how ignorance of it isn't tolerated and what we can do to change our attitude towards it (or maybe we just pretend to). All of the guests (including me ) moved to Mumbai for our careers so there is a lot of millennial frustration of figuring out our lives while also getting used to the mega city that is Mumbai.

This is the second time I have brought in a group of comics together but with a connecting theme! Got my favourites from each season of Comicstaan. I realised I would love to see the three different perspectives from comedians who have had their lives permanently changed by the show. We also take in questions from the audience about best friends, talking to our parents while they share their personal anecdotes about the comedy scene in India and their own beliefs they had to get over.
