India, June 8 -- Sumukhi Suresh became the sole Indian female comic in the lineup of the global comedy festival, Netflix Is A Joke, in Los Angeles last month. Excited about the feat, she tells us, "It is a big validation as a comedian for me to move ahead. Such platforms challenge your voice to see if you can entertain an audience which is not from your own diaspora." Comedy today has become risky, but Sumukhi anyway stays away from making political jokes. Is it deliberate? "Subconsciously my content turns out to be anecdotal, but comedy from a female comic is already politicised. I am already offending men by being a female standup comic on stage. I am just not doing political jokes. Even doing sex jokes is risky for women. We have just given more value to risky comedy done by men," she responds. Apart from comedy, Sumukhi is also pursuing acting and last year she was seen in The Royals playing actor Bhumi Satish Pednekkar's assistant. Since Bhumi has exited the second season, is Sumukhi still a part of it? "Whatever is being planned, it's going to be fun. It's in a very exciting phase and people will like my contribution to it. I am still associated with the season, I just can't reveal in what capacity," she responds....
