Comedy Nights with Kapil is an Indian comedy show that airs on Colors TV channel. The show is hosted by comedian Kapil Sharma. The format of the show is mixed, with Sharma acting out skits on stage with supporting characters, while also interacting with members in the audience and permanent guest Navjot Singh Siddhu. Each episode features celebrity guest(s) who usually appear to promote their latest films and with whom the actors interact in-character.[1][2]
The show was launched by Kapil Sharma under his own banner called K9 Productions.[3] Initially, the show was telecasted on a biweekly basis on weekends but after the launch of 24 (Indian adaptation of the American television series of same name), it was cut down to weekly basis.
After the conclusion of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, the show became the India's highest rated serial in the non-fiction category garnering viewership rating greater than KBC and Big Boss.[4] Moreover, in the history of reality shows, it is only on Comedy Nights that Shahrukh Khan has visited the sets twice to promote a movie (Chennai Express).

Incidents
On 25 September 2013, a fire broke out on the sets of the show at Film City in Goregaon causing the entire set to collapse and an estimated loss of ₹200 million but there were no casualties. Kapil Sharma stated in an interview that a lot of Bollywood celebrities offered to help him naming Lata Mangeshkar, Shahrukh Khan & Rohit Shetty.[8]
Management decided to shoot subsequent episodes (Episodes 29 and 30) on sets of Bigg Boss in Lonavla.[9][10][11] Shooting for episodes 31 onwards resumed on a new original-themed set.
