The creator of the satirical art form Thullal, Kunchan Nambiar is the star of the most humorous kabi kadhas. Legend has it that he fell asleep while playing the Mizhavu drum during a Chakyar Koothu performance. After being publicly ridiculed by the performer, Nambiar stayed up all night, composed a new poetic form, and performed it the next day, completely stealing the audience away. Poonthanam Nambudiri
