Anirban is the master of the awkward pause. He talks about dating, social anxiety, and the specific horror of being a Bengali who doesn't fit the stereotype. His jokes feel less like performance and more like a friend venting at a chai stall. Anirban is currently riding high
Anirban is currently riding high. He released a killer set on Comicstaan Presents and tours constantly. He represents the "post-pandemic" comic—gentler than Samay, sharper than the average open mic-er, and deeply loved by audiences who hate loud comedy. Season 4 (2023): The Fresh Voice – Piyush Sharma The most recent winner (Season 4, which streamed in late 2023) is Piyush Sharma .
But who actually took home the trophy? And where are they now?
Piyush blends observational humor with a unique, high-energy physicality. He speaks to the Gen Z experience—internet culture, family WhatsApp forwards, and the struggle of being "cool" while living with your parents.
Samay exploded post- Comicstaan . He became the unofficial king of Indian chess streaming (during the 2021 chess boom) and runs India’s biggest live comedy/roast battles ( E-Summit ). He is arguably the most commercially successful winner to date, though his edgy, "no-filter" style keeps him in the headlines. Season 3 (2022): The Relatable Everyman – Anirban Dasgupta After a pandemic hiatus, Comicstaan returned with Season 3. This time, the judges (including Sumukhi Suresh and Abish Mathew) crowned Anirban Dasgupta .

Let’s break down the winners of Comicstaan Season 1, 2, and 3—and why these names are now headlining your favorite YouTube channels and live shows. When the first season aired, the competition was fierce. Contestants like Aakash Gupta and Rahul Dua became fan favorites, but it was Nishant Suri who walked away with the ₹1 million prize.
