    Watch Your Favourite Comedians Perform For Their Toughest Audience Yet: 8-Year-Olds

    DYING OF CUTE.

    Teach For India got comedians Abish Mathew, Biswa Kalyan Rath, Kanan Gill, Abhishek Upmanyu, and Zakir Khan to visit one of their schools and do a set for some 3rd and 4th grade students.

    Biswa, who helped organise the visit, told BuzzFeed India that it was as much for the benefit of the comics as it was for the kids. “As comedians we are used to adult crowds, but I wanted comedians to break out of this comfort zone. Kids are the funniest human beings and hence, the best critics of humour. Hence the idea of doing comedy for kids. The experience was a MINDBLOWN,” he said.

    The comics, who each have performed to thrilled audiences of hundreds of adults, found this crowd to be their toughest yet.

    And they got a LOT more audience participation than ever before.

    There were times when things got a bit out of hand.

    They did have a few foolproof tricks up their sleeves.

    But they really really really failed to impress this guy.

    This hilarious experiment was for a good cause: to spread awareness about literacy in India, and to encourage viewers to sign up for the Teach For India fellowship program for low income and under-resourced schools.
