This paper explores how stand-up comedy serves as a platform for political criticism in India, focusing on comedians Varun Grover, Vir Das, and Kunal Kamra. It aims to understand their perspectives on government actions through their performances. In a context where traditional media faces censorship, stand-up comedy emerges as a unique and impactful tool for free expression. These comedians use humor to address sensitive topics, empowering audiences to engage with critical political issues. By raising public awareness through laughter, they contribute to the democratic process and challenge the limitations of free speech in India.
