MUMBAI –November XX, 2019 – Amazon Prime Video today unveiled the trailer of
its latest unscripted Amazon Original Series One Mic Stand. Created and hosted
by ace comedian Sapan Verma in collaboration with Only Much Louder (OML), One Mic Stand is a unique concept, where
renowned faces from varied walks of life try their hand at Stand-Up Comedy for
the very first time. The five-episode Amazon Original Series showcases
celebrities such as Youtube Creator Bhuvan Bam, singer & music composer
Vishal Dadlani, leading actors Richa Chadda and Taapsee Pannu, and politician
Dr. Shashi Tharoor push boundaries and offer a humorous take on a variety
of topics, while being mentored by top
comedians to perform in front of a live audience.
One Mic Stand has these celebrities stepping out of their
usual roles and challenging the status-quo as they get coached by some of
India’s wittiest comedians, including the likes of Rohan Joshi, Ashish Shakya,
Zakir Khan, Angad Singh Ranyal and Kunal Kamra, in the craft of Stand-Up
comedy. The choice of celebrity & comedian pairing is also uniquely special
as they have been paired together keeping ideologies and personal backgrounds in
mind, which in itself adds additional flavor to the show. Starting November 15,
Prime members across 200 countries and territories can stream all five episodes
in a binge format, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
Vijay Subramaniam, Director and
Head, Content, Amazon Prime Video India, said “We continue to receive an overwhelming
response to Amazon Prime Video’s comedy offering and this appreciation drives
us further to bring to our customers newer formats in this genre. One Mic Stand is a unique, fresh concept
and we are happy to collaborate with Only Much Louder (OML) to present yet
another disruptive take on stand-up comedy. Our customers have an exciting
opportunity to see some of their favourite celebrities in a never-seen-before
avatar and we are certain that audiences will love this new dimension of
Stand-Up comedy”.
Dhruv Sheth, Managing Partner, Only Much Louder, said “We are excited to continue our
association with Amazon Prime Video with One Mic Stand, an innovative
new comedy show created and hosted by Sapan Verma. The Amazon Original Series
shows the intricacies involved in the art of stand-up comedy and challenges
people famous in other art forms to try it in front of a live audience. We are
hopeful that audiences will both enjoy the show and see a new side of their
favorite comedians and celebrities.”
Sapan Verma, Comedian and Showrunner, said "The concept of One Mic
Stand came to me many years ago and I'm glad that Amazon Prime Video were
so supportive in making it happen. I think the idea of seeing your
favorite people in a new vulnerable position is always endearing. Basically,
I've got famous celebrities so that the show gets the views and top comedians
to ensure the show is funny, so that I can just sit back and not do much."
