He lived in a tent. He would tell many stories about his housewife. He would make others laugh while telling his sorrows.

His anecdotes would go from the leader's house to the Singha Durbar. He would mix the 'sighs' of the former royal family with humor and make others laugh. And why wouldn't anyone laugh!

His sharp satire and strong presentation spread far and wide in an instant. From a young man living in a dormitory, he sometimes became a housewife, sometimes he dazzled in the avatar of former Crown Prince Paras. These characters were a virtual treat for the audience who were looking for a laugh.

The magical art of comedian Bharatmani Poudel, who can forcefully present himself in different avatars on different stages, is his art. When he takes the stage, he comes with many lives in one body.

Bharatmani plays his characters with care. That's why his characters are more at risk than him. ‘If no one laughs after listening to them after going on stage,’ recalls Bharatmani, who witnessed the challenging moment, ‘then the character who made them laugh at that time should come back crying.’

Bharatmani’s sorrow is behind winning the championship in ‘Comedy Champion Season 2’. Let alone the costly investment in the voting system. Although Bharatmani’s performance kept him crowned champion. But even the champion of the show did not stop being surrounded by challenges after leaving the show.

Four years ago, before the joy of being crowned comedy champion could fade, he reached a school program in Taplejung. Bharatmani, who was eager to make the students laugh after going on stage, had to hesitate for a long time. ‘I am making political jokes, but the students are not laughing. Their mouths are dry without laughing. I became red-faced inside,' he laughs at the pain of that time, 'Then I changed the topic and started giving love content. And where could the atmosphere of laughter stop.' He learned a lesson from his students that he had not learned at other times, that one joke does not work everywhere.

Bharat had to go on a European tour to learn how important not only the place and age group, but also the time is for jokes. Due to the organizer's shortcomings, he had to perform at one place at 2:30 am. The audience was all drunk. His jokes became so dull that that bitter taste still lingers in his mind.

The audience also expects new content from Bharatmani, who keeps traveling both domestically and internationally. He has experienced how difficult it is to give new ones. That's why he gave a 'surprise' in the last episode. To be different from the ever-repeating avatar, he brought in a character that is seen occasionally. The character was - Vigyan. Who is trapped in drugs and addiction. Who has his own style of speaking, walking and living. The Vigyan avatar is currently going through a testing period for Bharat. 'I will gradually make it stronger and more interesting,' he promises.

He did everything from sweeping the floor to signing checks at the Radio Tamor office in Chabahil.

He had been laying the foundation for building this character for two years. ‘I had visited my village and various places in Kathmandu and observed such characters in depth,’ he says, ‘I kept on examining their gestures, speech and psychology.’

After winning ‘Champion’, Bharatmani traveled to more than a dozen countries through comedy. After reaching different geographies, he was sought out by the audience of Nepal. If an artist is not seen not only on stage but also on screen, he goes away from the eyes of the masses. Bharatmani has realized this. That is why he has not been missing from Comedy Champion with Nights lately. But his comedy is not only praised, but also questioned. Things like double meaning and body shaming are repeated in the name of comedy. Rather than getting angry when the audience watches the performance ‘privately’, it is more fun to watch it with family and laugh! Perhaps Bharatmani thinks so!

He was born and raised in Taplejung. Comedy was instilled in him since his school days. He came to Kathmandu around 2070. He had come to Radio Kantipur with the dream of becoming an RJ. But he was fired because he did not know how to type in Nepali and English. ‘That became a big ‘ego’ issue for me.’ I went back to Taplejung and learned typing for three months before returning to Kathmandu,’ he says.

After that, he worked at Radio Tamor (Taplejung’s first community radio studio) in Chabahil, from mopping the floor to signing checks. ‘I was also a radio technician. I had all the technical knowledge to edit sound, make advertisements and arrange the ‘landing’ of news,’ says Bharatmani. He also edited comedian Manoj Gajurel's 'Dharti Akash' program on the same radio.

Bharatmani, who was filming characters with a camera yesterday, is now eager to film himself in front of him. But he considers today's situation more challenging than that time yesterday.

When Comedy Champion was started 6 years ago, Bharatmani was struggling with livelihood problems. At that time, he used to carry a camera and shoot videos and interviews for YouTube. Even then, he often saw his friends trying to capture content that brought fights and negative vibes on YouTube. But Bharat was in search of positive content. At that time, the first season of Comedy Champion started. His friends Suman Koirala and Suman Karki participated. But Bharatmani's financial situation was weak. He wanted to improve it. Even though he was determined, he did not enter the door of opportunity that was opening.

His friends would come on TV. Bharatmani was proud to see that. In the second season after two years, Bharatmani made his 'entry'. His entry on the screen was memorable. After that, Bharatmani won every show continuously. Finally, he became the winner of 'Comedy Champion Season 2'.
