AIB


Massively popular on the Indian Internet, AIB’s comedy has a potent mix of wit, video scripts begging for sequels, and next-level self-deprecation. Comedians Tanmay Bhat, Gursimran Khamba, Rohan Joshi and Ashish Shakya came together as a podcast, an act that evolved into India's edgiest comedy collective - making some of the most viewed, shared, and liked video content online. From the Honest series, to the trending news show like On Air With AIB, their YouTube channel now boasts over 3 million subscribers and 375 million views. They’ve also used their platform to launch new music talent, including Ritviz, who’s single on the AIB YouTube channel has garnered more than 10 million views. Apart from bringing a never-before brand of comedy online, they have hosted some of India's most successful and spoken-about comedy events - including the all-day AIB Diwas, the 'tribute' to Bollywood 'Royal Turds', and of course, that Roast. They are now also venturing into longer formats, with Khamba’s Amazon Original show set to release in 2018.
