Stand-up Comedian Praveen Kumar who has performed reasonably a few times in the town says, “I have done 3-4 displays in Coimbatore and the reception has been superior. The just right phase now could be that, the native comedians have come together and started open mics which is a great initiative. Having a comedy scene is just right for the town. Once there are extra comedians in the town, it's going to draw in many extra comedians from out of doors and receive advantages the entire scene. If this continues, it'll be a treat for Coimbatore citizens in the future.”
Theatre person, actor and slapstick comedian Karthik Kumar had said after one among his performances in the town, “Youngsters assume it's the coolest thing to do. Stand Up comedy is repeatedly breaking mind sets and wondering norms. It is a disruptive artwork form; children love it because we are saying things that nobody else says. It is a healthy thing. At the same time, all of this may’t move virtual, because while you move virtual you're going to end up making few people indignant as they received’t understand the context of the jokes.

I started open mics for all talents (mime, mimicry, singing and dancing…). I then made up our minds to have unique displays for the entire occasions. The ultimate open mic for stand-up comedy was once super a success. Today, 7 out of 10 people know what stand-up comedy is, which wasn’t the case earlier.

I can also see numerous comedians from Mumbai and different north Indian cities acting in Coimbatore. Earlier, it was once predominantly comedians from Chennai who have been acting. The native audiences have additionally shocked me with their reception of jokes. Since this is a smaller town compared to metros, we come up with a notion that it's going to be extra conservative. But, they have been open to all kinds of jokes.”
Alka Nichani, member of Coimbatore Humour Society says, “I believe we can take some credit for having introduced stand-up comedy to Coimbatore. It has advanced reasonably a lot through the years. We have regular displays taking place in the town. It is the will of the hour too. Stress levels have higher and stand-up comedy makes you snicker at your self. It still has a long strategy to move. We would additionally like to advertise native talents from the town which can lend a hand give the comedy scene a fillip.”
