Standup comedy show Comicstaan dropped its third season today. The Amazon Prime Video original series is judged by Zakir Khan, Neeti Palta, Sumukhi Suresh and Kenny Sebastian. With a change in format, Comicstaan 3 also saw seven mentors join the team to train the top eight in different categories every week. And after a long and tough battle, the comedians who emerged as the finalists are Shreya Priyam, Aashish Solanki, Aman Jotwani and Gurleen Pannu.
After seven tough rounds with different mentors, the finalists were given the opportunity to perform at the Royal Opera House, in front of a packed audience. In addition to their scores with the judges, the mentors also got the chance to rate their favorite players. And with an average of 9.1, Aashish Solanki was declared the winner, while Gurleen Pannu emerged as the winner. Aman Jotwani and Shreya Priyam stood at third and fourth place respectively.
Celebrating his big win, Aashish shared a heartfelt letter for his father in Hindi, in which he thanked him for supporting his ‘hatke’ career. He also shared a picture of his father with the Comicstaan 3 trophy.
Host Kusha Kapila, congratulating the winner wrote in his post, “Finally. Is post aur is din ka kabse intezaar tha 🔥.” Judge Neeti Palta added, “Hello. I will ask for you next time I see you.” Her fans and followers also shared heartfelt messages about her great success.
In another letter, Aashish told how he was rejected last season. Sharing an Instagram interview with the official Comicstaan Instagram page that sent him a promotional video, he wrote, “He was rejected in season 2, then he killed it in season 3. @comicstaan mera ego hurt ni karne ka.”
Moholdi hails from Delhi and has been associated with comedy groups for more than five years. He’s even been touring with his ‘Good Boy Better Show’ for quite some time now.
