LOL: Hasse Toh Phasse trailer – Cyrus Broacha, Gaurav Gera, Kusha Kapila, Mallika Dua, Sunil Grover aim to keep a straight face

The unscripted comedy reality show sees the popular comedians sequestered in a house, trying to make others laugh, without cracking up themselves.

In Amazon Prime’s latest comedy reality show LOL: Hasse Toh Phasse, hosted by Boman Irani and Arshad Warsi, popular comedians find themselves stuck together in a house, trying to make others laugh without breaking into laughter themselves.

The participants include Aadar Malik, Aakash Gupta, Aditi Mittal, Ankita Shrivastav, Cyrus Broacha, Gaurav Gera, Kusha Kapila, Mallika Dua, Sunil Grover and Suresh Menon, who will battle each other comedically over six consecutive hours, trying to incite laughs.

The reality show will be contested across six episodes, and the last comedian standing will win Rs25 lakh.

Veteran funnyman Broacha stated that there is some real madness in store for audiences. “Firstly, I would like to publicly apologize to my family and to audiences in advance, for our antics on LOL: Hasse Toh Phasse,” he said. “Having put that on record, I would like to add that I have never restricted myself to a particular medium throughout my career and believed in exploring each and everything that destiny has planned for me.”

Gera, known for online characters Shopkeepa and Chutki, added, “When I first heard about this unconventional show, I knew I had to do it. I have tried all kinds of stunts and looks to make my fellow contestants crack up. I am thrilled that such an interesting format which has been successful across the world is finally here in India in a local avatar.”

Kapila, a social media star and content creator, said, “Most of the characters that I play are inspired by real life or drawn from my daily routine and I got a chance to really push the envelope on this show. I crack up at my own jokes half the time so keeping a straight face around all these senior and experienced comedians wasn’t easy for me.”

LOL: Hasse Toh Phasse will be premiered on Amazon Prime on 30 April.
