Get ready for sardonic cynicism and big laughs as the smart and relatable Anirban Dasgputa returns to Melbourne for his solo debut. Anirban delves into life in India weaving through three generations of his family's journey from British India to the present, with the recent birth of his daughter prompting the question: what world did he bring his child into? A world full of war, misinformation, disease and division? Is there hope after all?

Coming from Kolkata and now rocking Mumbai, Anirban is not just a stand-up comedian; he's a screenwriter and a new dad with a style that's uniquely his own. Once a corporate hotshot, he's graced stages across India and the globe, smashing the prestigious Just For Laughs in Montreal and last year’s Melbourne Comedy Festival’s Best of Comedy Zone Asia. With widespread acclaim from his first stand-up special Take It Easy on Amazon Prime Video and the popular dark comedy series Afsos, you can expect a wild ride from this comedy maestro.

Performed in English.
