Welcome to Oopar Oopar Ki Baatein, an #interview #talkshow with standup comedians.
I (Baneet Chhabra), a standup comedy producer/curator interviews stand-up comedians with whom I have worked closely around standup, life and everything in between. Hopping from one rooftop to another, I try to strike some earnest insightful conversations among unabashed shallow chit-chat with these comedians in this series of long-form interviews.
