Mariam's journey culminated in the declaration of her Shahadah on a Friday, an experience she describes as lifting a burden from her chest
Considered one of India's ace urban comedians, Abish is known for his keen observations of daily life. He kicked-off his act at the season finale with his take on how first names come into being in Kerala (especially in the Christian community). It's usually a combination of two syllables from names of either siblings or other family members, he explained.
This also gave Abish an opportunity to take a jab at DJing - all of course in his inimitable, comic style, much to the delight of the audience. "Let me tell you a DJ's job is not during a gig, it's before a gig. During a live gig a DJ has three concepts. The first one is called 'coochy coo'. Then there's the 'pungi' and .. I too have a DJ console, it's called a VLC player," Abish joked.
His minute observations of the IPL cricket matches had the audience in splits. "All of us here have seen cricket right?" he asked.
His observation was so precise that you'd feel as though you were actually watching a slo-mo clip live. It was hilarious! Some of the other sensitive and 'under-the belt' topics Abish touched upon were scenes in a public toilet (something we can't write about though), husband and wife encounters, pets, and a parody on Indian rapper Honey Singh's first album (can't print this one too).
Some die-hard stand-up fans were heartbroken to see the Laugh-A-Thon season come to an end. Said Rajiv an 18-year-old Dubai student. "I am a huge fan of stand-ups. I'm really going to miss these sessions. I have been attending the shows since the series started in February. I prefer going to a comedy show than spending time in front of the TV. There's so much interaction in these shows. They really make you feel part of the act."
