Humour Heals
Covid-19 has been an assault not just on our bodies, but also our minds. For many, comedian Danish Sait's short skits on social media came as a panacea to our mental woes. Locked up like the rest of us in our homes, using props, such as tissue boxes, room freshener cans, and even a cat to serve as a phone in these videos of everyday people talking to one another, Sait emerged as the star of the lockdown.
Unlike other comic acts whose content is now increasingly difficult to distinguish from a political activist's tract, Sait's subject has been the humour in everyday life, even in the shadow of a pandemic.
