"Chakyar Koothu (pronounced [t\u0283a\u02D0kja\u02D0r ku\u02D0t\u02D0\u032A\u0268\u0306]) is a performance art from Kerala, South India. It is primarily a type of highly refined monologue where the performer narrates episodes from Hindu epics (such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata) and stories from the Puranas. Sometimes, however, it is also a traditional equivalent of the modern stand-up comedy act, incorporating commentary on current socio-political events (and personal comments directed at the members of the audience)."@en .
