Instagram has in recent years become an important platform for the flourishing of comedy and entertainment talent. Based on reviews by Namafar's Policy Research and Data Analysis Group in Mehr (September–October) 1405 (2026/27), eight top pages in the production of comedy videos that have at least five million followers have been identified.
A review of these pages provides a clear picture of Iranian audiences' taste on social networks. At the top of the Instagram comedians' club list, Hasan Rivandi stands with a striking record of 19/3 million followers. His significant gap with the other figures indicates his established position among users, because he alone has attracted more than twice as many followers as the second-ranked person.
After him, the competition among the other figures becomes much closer. Serena Amini, with 9/0 million followers, stands in second place, and Milad Ghasemikhah with 8/0 million, Kamyar 696 with 7/0 million, and Parisa Pourmeshki with 6/2 million followers occupy third through fifth place. Further down this list, Mr. Cheshmak with 5/9 million, Erfan Alirezaei with 5/5 million, and Mehdi Dab with 5/4 million followers have taken the subsequent places.
While six of those on this list are men, Serena Amini's second-place ranking and Parisa Pourmeshki's presence in the upper half of the table indicate women's success and high penetration in this field.
With the exception of the first-ranked person's unreachable position, competition in ranks two through eight is very tight, and the gap among their audiences changes with a gentle slope.
