Comedian Sumukhi Suresh’s stand-up special Hoemonal, her first for Netflix, now has a release date. After travelling across and outside India, including a run at the Edinburgh Fringe, the show will start streaming on the streaming service from October 14.

Speaking about the special, Sumukhi said, “When I wrote Hoemonal in 2021, all I wanted was to be my honest self on stage and accept whatever response I got from the audience. Never expected the response to be laughter along with anger, tears, and truckloads of hugs. I felt like I performed a RomCom on stage.”

“As I toured with the show, I understood that being Hoemonal is not my isolated story but everyone’s experience. Being conservatively raised and now, to date, like a character from a sitcom, or to flirt and use a pick-up line on a man when we have grown up being told not to seek attention; all while dealing with hormones having a rave party inside our bodies, Hoemonal is my chaotic experience of a female life,” she added.

Apart from stand-up Sumukhi has also written dialogues for Vikramaditya Motwane’s film CTRL.
