Hang on to your pants for a craptastic new episode of Tomboy Tirade, all the way from Mumbai!
After being kicked out of Bollywood, the Tomboys Tarts Persis and Raven fall on hard times and turn to driving a cab. They find themselves caught up in Mumbai's most massive traffic jam ever where everything comes to a standstill and Persis gets a tummy upset from eatting at a dodgy street stall.
Along the way they pick up Aditi Mittal, who is in a big hurry to reach Canvas Laugh Club to perform her gig. She shares with the tomboys how she got into comedy, dealing with hecklers and what is it like being a pioneer in India's standup comedy scene.
They discuss the recent advertisement parody video done by Aditi, a comic take on the false promises made by beauty ads, "18 again" - the infamous vaginal tightening gel and India's obsession with fairness - a multi-billion dollar industry
Persis declares she can no longer hold it anymore and needs to take a dump like right now - in the midst of being struck in traffic. Can the tomboys find a way to escape from the notorious Mumbai traffic? Or will it all go to shit for them?
