For a dose of laughter July 4 is celebrated as Independence Day in the US. But a group of comedians in Mumbai are using the occasion to launch a full-blown attack on the American President, Donald Trump. Trump, of course, has been a rich source of material for comedians in his own backyard, as was the case with Hasan Minaj at the White House Correspondents Dinner last year (when he said that the only reason he got the gig is because no one else wanted to do it, so obviously an immigrant had to do the dirty job). Now, city-based funny folk like Sagar Mavani, Aayushi Jagad, Pooja Ramchandraran, Neil Balthazar and Rohan Parekh (in pic) will grab the opportunity to crack their own jokes on POTUS. ON: Tonight, 9 pm AT: The Integral Space, 14 Janata Estate, Lower Parel. LOG ON TO: insider.in ENTRY: Rs 299
