Review: Sharul Channa Is A Pottymouth

Sharul Channa fully embraces her title in this no holds barred, completely unfiltered performance. Sharul Channa occasionally receives a request from her father for jokes he can share at the temple.

From making light of mourners at a funeral to unflinchingly talking about … Continue reading Review: Sharul Channa Is A Pottymouth
