Laugh Your Way out of this week with Tamil Amazon Original LOL

 “A Day Without Laughter Is a Day Wasted” goes a saying and hence Amazon Prime Video ups the ante on humour quotient this week starting with its much-awaited Amazon Original Series LOL: Enga Siri Paappom. Gear up for the joyride, with a Tamil rendition of the international unscripted comedy franchise, hosted by Padma Shri awardee and legendary comedian Late Vivek and renowned actor  Shiva.

Accentuating the humour barometer even further, India’s most popular and loved comics including Shreeja Chaturvedi, Shankar Chugani, Ramya Ramapriya and Aadar Malik come together in a special series with back to back fifteen-minute stand-up sets in Amazon Funnies: Stand Up Shorts. While Comicstaan-Season 2 contestant Shreeja Chaturvedi, tickles the audiences out of her funny experiences across India, Shankar “sells himself short”. The funnies continue as Ramya explains her Lack of Enthusiasm, making the audiences go ROFL while Aadar Malik shares his personal stories in the most “Adar-way” possible. Watch the Amazon Funnies premiere on 26^th August.

Reflecting on a story of revolution, Kevin Can F*** Himself dwells on the life of a perfect sitcom wife, who decides to fight against the injustice in her life.

Kevin Can F*** Himself follows the story of Allison McRoberts (Murphy), a woman we all grew up believing we knew as the prototypical Sitcom wife. She's beautiful and can take a joke (though she's usually the butt of them). And she's married to a guy who must've won some sort of a marriage lottery, because she looks the way she does and he's... funny. But what happens when we follow Allison out of her husband's domain? When she finally wakes up to (and revolts against) the injustices in her life? Kevin Can FK Himself breaks television convention and blends multi-camera comedy with single-camera realism to make us ask, "who and what have we been laughing at for all these years?"
