While Ashish Chanchlani would have been a bigger name for the 17 million followers he entertains on his YouTube channel, my personal favorite happens to be Amit Tandon aka The Family Man.

Amit’s jokes are centered around a typical middle-class family and are generally devoid of abusive language, making him a perfect choice as a family entertainer. He was one of the first stand-up comics to debut with a show on Netflix and has a huge audience base across the globe. You can catch his hilarious videos on his YouTube channel here.
Here’s one of my favorite videos. Have fun.

I recently came across one of Amit Tondon’s stand up comedy shows. And believe me I truly enjoyed it. I am not much into stand up comedy. I can’t laugh non stop. “family entertainer”..thats the correct word for him.
Shall check out the video, Sonia. Thanks for sharing. Laugh indeed is the need of the hour, with the ever deepening pool of death and despair.
Best wishes for the A-Z.
My fav too! He has a way of putting marital life emotions with complete humour and connects instantly. Am really looking forward. Have to wait till the end for Zakir Khan?
These days, I find that stand up comedians show a more realistic mirror to the world than even politicians and world leaders… they are insightful. Add some biting wit and its a joy to watch.
Theme is great Sonia. In the time of stress and tension, a daily dose of laughter. Loved the short piece. Will be back again here for more laugh bites.
I have watched a couple of his videos and did find them funny. This is a great theme for AtoZ in these times when everything around us dark and gloomy.
I am a huge fan of stand up comedy. Internationally my favorite is Trevor Noah. In India, I have been following the comedy scene for long. I like Amit Tandon for his clean comedy. However, Biswa is my favorite.
I just watched Amit Tandon’s show last evening so I can identify with everything you’ve written about him. This post makes me smile as I once again recall his jokes.
I have seen the video before. I enjoyed watching it again. I did not know this guy’s name was Amit Tandon. My favourite stand up comics are Kunal Kamra and Varun Grover though they use very coarse language. Amit Tandon is good and thanks for sharing a cheerful video.
He is my favourite too! I have had the good fortune of watching him live several times. He is amazing! Thank you for writing this post. Looking forward to walking the #BlogchatterA2Z journey with you.
Oh! He is one of my favorites when it comes to stand up comedy. Brilliant man, the timings and way he uses family members in the punches are to die for.
Im happy Amit Tandons name begins with an A so he got featured 1st in your A2Z!! 😊😊
Jokes apart I love this guy. He is truly a Family Man. No crude jokes. No swear words. Just clean humor!!
