How Pakistan’s Comics Are Talking About Feminism, Queerness Through Jokes

Being a stand-up comic can be a dangerous job in Pakistan, where being outspoken about beliefs can make one vulnerable to state action, claims of heresy and even violent attacks. VICE Host Sabah Bano Malik joins Auratnaak, a feminist comedy troupe, as they open their first show in Karachi during the pandemic and talk about how comedy can be political. We also meet comics like Natalia Gul who faced online threats for joking about her community, and Swinery whose avatars of a blue Muslim cleric, a cranky alien and even a pig pushed the boundary of what’s acceptable in humour. We also meet Moiz who uses their online following to expose Beela, an ‘organized syndicate’ of men who attack members of the Pakistani queer community. The personal is political for this community of comics baring their views, uninhibited.
