Comedian Abi Mohanty on Her Comedy Journey, Indian Cinema and Navigating Online Hate

In this episode (#4 of Happy Podcast) I talk with stand-up comedian Abi Mohanty, who is based in Berlin and originally from near Calcutta, India. The conversation delves into the darker side of comedy, starting immediately with the recent online hate and real threats Abi received after posting a joke. Abi reflects on the "tragedy plus time" rule for comedy, the difficulty of being an unafraid comedian, and the risks of performing.
