MUMBAI: Fox Traveller is all set to premiere a new show, ?Freaky Traveller?, starting 5 February at 10 pm.

The show follows the journey of anchor Brij Bhakta as he is determined to experience the crazy side of travel.

Earlier this year, Gaurav Kapur went on an extensive hunt on Facebook to find the perfect whacko and zeroed down on Brij Bhakta - a stand-up comedian who returned to India from America. Whether it is training the Indian pigeons, racing against a camel in Rajasthan or paragliding in Mcleodganj - Brij ventures out to get everyone with all guns blazing.

Fox International Channels VP- marketing Debarpita Banerjee commented, "We have taken the word ?Fun? and increased what we can pack in, exponentially. This is one journey that is nothing but pushing the edge on whacky fun. Brij takes us across India, and walks us through some really hilarious situations, and a perspective and take on things only a stand- up comedian will manage. At FOX Traveller we showcase more than just beautiful destinations; this show completely lives up to it."

Kapur added, "The very concept of Freaky Traveller enthralled me. During the hunt for a travel jockey, a first in its kind, I was amazed at the contestants? confidence and willingness to go the extra mile. We were particularly looking for someone who was confident had presence of mind was uninhibited and had a whacky sense of humour. We found all that and much more in Brij Bhakta."
