Reel to Real - Crowdwork Show by Abishek Kumar and Nirmal Pillai in Toronto

About Artist

Comedian Abishek Kumar, one of Chennai’s most popular stand-up artistes, burst onto the scene with the now super-popular online alternative character, Mrs Janaki, was also recently seen in a cameo in Harish Kalyan-starrer Oh Manapenne! (2021). The theatre-artiste turned comic is also a regular on many OTT-based comedy shows including Comicstaan Semma Comedy Pa and LOL: Enga Siri Paappom, both on Amazon Prime Video. With news of an upcoming web series called Village (also on Amazon Prime Video) and ahead of his multi-city The Reel To Real Crowdwork Tour, we catch up with the Chennai peiyyen to talk stand-up, performance, the creation of an audience and how clean comedy can actually still work with all audiences.
Nirmal Pillai’s standup comedian style take on the story of milk in India, as part of his ‘Parotta Act’ series, caught the attention of many, propelling him to YouTube creator celebrity status. By the way, he’s sitting down for much of the 15-minute video – not sure if that was part of his humour.
