In India, people earlier have seen Haasya Kavi Sammelans, which were a great format that lasted for decades. It is still around but people wanted more, so you see some television (TV) channels broadcasting comedy shows.

"Now media has changed, the medium has changed and we have Youtube, Facebook. Now as an artist, I am not dependent upon TV producers or a movies to showcase my skill set. So, if I believe that this is the kind of comedy I need to do, I can just record it and put it online.

He attributes some big changes to Reliance Jio coming in.

"I think TV is facing a huge challenge as compared to Youtube, now we the consumption pattern for Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities are changing constantly and the audience is also maturing in terms of what they want. They just don't want slapstick; they want some intelligent observation to come their way, be it some political message to come in," Tandon said.

According to him, the market is evolving. People want more of new comedy patterns, there has been evolution in the comedy pattern and comedians are no more dependent on anyone. All they have to do is to upload a video online and if people like their work then nothing can beat it.

Tandon thinks comedians today are BIZ Experiencess because whatever they do, they do it on their own from taking the risk to showcasing themselves also putting up their talent, promoting themselves and marketing themselves on social media, he added that audience is getting mature they definitely look up to some social message as well in what they are seeing.
