At its sixth edition happening today, you can expect the romp to be notched a scale higher with All India Bakchod putting together a surprise riotous act. Actress Kalki Koechlin will also be putting in an appearance.
The event or platform has been on in the city since January last year and aims to be &ldquo;inclusive in a fun space and sensitise non-queers&rdquo;, in MJ&rsquo;s words. With ten performances in tow, seven are results of callouts where anyone who was inclined to put an entertaining act together has been selected.
The remaining three acts are usually done by known faces like the group of stand-up comic artistes &mdash; All Indian Bakchod (AIB). &ldquo;We are very glad to get AIB as they are known to take up social causes such as the Delhi rape case and then the Imran Khan Queer video. Also, it is a fundraiser for the Queer Azadi camp fund,&rdquo; informs MJ.
