Jokes to the rescue in times of quarantine: Comedians connect with people online

A cure for coronavirus may still take a while but armed with sharp jokes, quick rebuttals and topical observations, Indian stand-up comics are trying to calm and entertain people via social media in what appears to be a long period of self-isolation. Comedians Karunesh Talwar, Neeti Palta, Sahil Shah, Sorabh Pant and Sumaira Shaikh, all known for their quick-witted, observational humour, are reconnecting with fans online to spread some much needed cheer in the time of COVID-19 outbreak. Karunesh, who is selective about sharing content on social media, said the idea behind putting a 'Random Jokes' video on Monday was to do something instead of staying stuck at home.
