Random Chikibum, a two-member comedy team, has been crowned as the winner of India's first web hunt "OML's Comedy Hunt 2015" after beating Weird communications, Take 900, Funny Brownies and Forked up.
The three months long hunt saw participation from all over India, with 1578 entries from over 60 cities.
The hunt was mentored by comedians like AIB group, Kanan Gill & Biswa Kalyan Rath, SnG Comedy, East India Comedy, Jose Covaco, Abish Mathew, Aditi Mittal and Shudh Desi Endings.
"What started as a source of laughter in closed rooms is today a recognised art on the digital platform. Winning Comedy Hunt 2015 is a dream come true for us...," Random Chikibum said in a statement.
Random Chikibum will now get a chance to share the platform with some of the biggest comedy creators and will be associated with major brands through exclusive contracts.
"When we started AIB, comedy was lesser known and looked down upon. But today we have come a long way and with pit stops such as Comedy Hunt, the race for being the king of comedy is truly rewarding.
"We would like to congratulate Random Chikibum who withstood the test of time and even after much scrutiny, made us laugh each time," AIB said.
Congratulating the team, Satyanarayan Raghavan, Head of Content and Operations, YouTube India, said, "Comedy Hunt is India's first ever show on the online platform that inspires creativity...
"I congratulate Random Chikibum for winning the comedy Hunt Challenge and wish them all the best for their future videos.
