Skip to episode five and watch Shashi Tharoor and Kunal Kamra's gigs if you are in speedwatching mood, and you will have watched pretty much the best bit of the show.
In his debut as a stand-up comedian, author-politician Tharoor doles out a few gems on Indian politics. There is a potshot at his self-obsession with the English language, too.
Tharoor's is mostly an introspective set coming from a person who has nothing to do with showbiz, and yet he scores above Taapsee Pannu, Richa Chadha, Vishal Dadlani and Bhuvan Bam ? the other celebrity comics on the show.
"One Mic Stand" falls short of expectation not because of lack of effort. As an experiment in the Indian stand-up scene it is definitely a novel try. The sense of being let down, however, is an outcome of ineffective execution. Each episode wastes too much time in capturing the preparation process of each celebrity performer.

ComedyDidn't find his stand-up funny? Blame it on Nehru, says Tharoor.Sowmya RajendranThere are many Indian politicians who are known for their wit but Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has become the first to attempt an actual stand-up routine. On One Mic Stand - Season 1 which premiered on Amazon Prime on November 15, the Kerala politician gamely takes up the challenge of entertaining the audience with his comedy. Mentored by comedian Kunal Kamra, Shashi Tharoor performs a nearly 10-minute set in the 33-minute long episode that begins with the behind-the-scenes of the production. Tharoor, we're told, has had only 24 hours to prepare his material and his mentor Kunal Kamra is a bit worried on his behalf. Can the Kerala politician pull it off? But before we see Tharoor in action at the Comedy Club in Delhi, Kunal and Sapan Verma of East India Comedy warm up the audience with jokes ranging from...

EntertaimentThe Amazon Prime series is set to release on November 15. Tnm StaffIt’s common knowledge that MP Shashi Tharoor has a penchant for perplexing English words (recall the “farrago of distortions” or “floccinaucinihilipilification” incidents). Now, in a new Amazon Prime comedy special, Tharoor seems to be poking fun at his own language skills. “It’s gotten to the point where anything I say is assumed by people to be more complicated than it really is,” he said in a sneak peek of the series, set to release on November 15. Even his lunch order is evidently hard to understand. “So I said, please may I have a Caesar salad. And this woman says, ‘Oh Shashi, always quoting Shakespeare,” Tharoor says.
