Based on hits and misses, a total of six participants will be chosen from these 12. The chosen six will fight it out in teams of two. “This competition is not just about thinking on your feet, but also about holding a straight face. If your opponent makes you laugh with their utterances, you lose a point. There will also be a short session for the audience to participate in,” Anand adds.

So who thought up of the idea? Anand points us to Saya Date. Date shares that pun-offs are quite popular in the West and have caught pace in the past three to four years. She has participated in a few of them, and thought of approaching Kommune to introduce the idea in the Indian scene. This year, Date will be participating in the O Henry pun-off world championships.
