Mumbai Aug 3 (IANS) "Comedy Dangal" a new comedy TV show full of humour will refrain from adult humour and double entendre jokes say show s judges Anu Malik and Bharti Singh.
Launched here on Thursday "Comedy Dangal" is an upcoming &TV show which will bring together television personalities and stand-up comics in a face-off.
Asked if the show will see a dash of adult humour Bharti told IANS: "It s not there. You would see nothing like that in our show. It s all about the current topics including boyfriend girlfriend and food. No adult humour."
Stressing that the show is fit for family viewing Bharti said: "The family is going to sit and watch it so we avoid all that. But what other shows are doing I don t know and won t talk about it."
Malik who has previously hosted reality shows like "Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega" and "Indian Idol" says he doesn t endorse such content.
"Until now it hasn t happened and I wouldn t endorse that because this show is going to be a family show. I want the family to sit and watch this together... Slightly touching it is okay but major adult humour I believe we should go away from that. Comedy Dangal is not going to touch that."
"The episodes I have seen have had ideas which I have not heard before " Malik told IANS here adding that "there was no adult humour words or jokes".
The laughter show will see two teams -- Malik s Akhada comprising actors like Debina Bonnerjee Monalisa Mobin Rajesh Kumar and Gunjan Utreja; and Bharti s Tabela having stand-up comics like Jeeveshu Ahluwalia and Abhijit Ganguly.
Talking about his first TV show Ganguly told IANS: "Stand-up in itself is a very anti-establishment thing. Basically you can talk about anything you want to. Of course there is a lot of things you can and cannot talk about in TV but that also compels you to dig deeper into jokes."
The stand-up comic says it s a different experience for him.
Bhojpuri actress Monalisa who was part of the controversial reality TV show "Bigg Boss" says this is the different genre for her and that s what makes it more exciting for her.
"I am really excited for this show. This is a different genre for me. I have done comedy in Bhojpuri films... Making people laugh is very difficult... This is definitely a challenge for me. I am very excited " Monalisa told IANS here.
"Comedy Dangal" will begin on August 12.
