Does anyone know how’s the participation/selection happening? I’ve heard Archana Puran Singh and her sons are doing a comic hunt. Might be a quick nice cash grab, don’t have big hopes. Even Krishna tried writing a comedy show with Inder Sahani & the likes, but it never materialized

Heard from a brand manager friend whose company is sponsoring an episode of Latent 2, shoot begins on Monday 18th.

There was a phase in Indian comedy where collectives felt like actual bands.

AIB, EIC, SnG etc. People appeared in each other’s videos constantly, there were recurring inside jokes, audiences kinda followed the whole ecosystem instead of just individual comics.

But almost every collective eventually split up or became inactive. Even globally this keeps happening.

Why is running a comedy collective so difficult as a long-term business model? Is it money, creative differences, algorithms pushing individuality, or just people growing at different speeds?

Also feels like some groups retained friendships/collaborations better than others. For example, Aadar & Varun still seem to pop up together pretty consistently after all these years.

Which comedy collectives did you guys enjoy the most?
