Mittal explains, “The show centres on stories that we read in the lockdown, and their credibility. The reader is always left guessing. It became our reality when the pandemic set in. We didn’t know what the media was telling us. Were authorities sharing 100-per cent accurate information with us? Our lives have contracted to the online sphere where there is more fake than factual information. People lost their sense of identity; even today we are unsure whether a third wave will happen. I’ve used this show to tell a different story from the stand-up that took place in pre-pandemic times.”

Stand-up comedy, which is traditionally energised by a live audience, with cheer from them adding to the experience, has now changed. New concerns have set in relating to issues like connectivity, time-lags and timing. “We have to still maintain the integrity of the material as we perform online; today, we have to worry about whether the audience can even hear our jokes. We have had to adapt our shows in a way that would keep people interested and coming back for more.”
