Will comedians be moving to India to pursue the many TV gigs there? Check out this article on IndianTelevision.com— it seems that standup is hotter than ever on that continent’s networks:

On the other hand, Sony Entertainment Television (SET), which had a fairly better stint with its stand-up comedy show Comedy Circus last year, is also bouncing back. Produced by Optymistix, the second season will feature some of the winners of The Great Indian Laughter Challenge.

Sources also inform that INX Media’s Hindi GEC 9X is hunting for talents as they are looking at the possibility of launching a stand-up comedy show soon.

It’s like 1989 all over again! Only in India!
