Sketch Comedy is a form of comedic performance that is performed by a group of comedians or comedic actors in a series of short scenes or vignettes. Similar to a skit, a sketch explores a normal situation/character that is enhanced by comedy. It can be either improvised or scripted.
Today we will be taking a trip down memory lane and talking about such Sketches made by Indian YouTube channels during the early, booming days of YouTube in the country. All these sketches have millions of views attached to their names and have paved the way for Indian YouTube’s success.
