Kanan Gill: Keep It Real

Now over the last 5-6 years we in India have seen an exponential rise of stand up comics. A lot of them have been good but each brings with themselves some baggage that does not translate universally.

We have seen comics from outfits like AIB & EIC take to stand up along with a lot of the other individual like Biswa Kalyan Rath, Kenny Sebastion, Abish Matthews, etc. But none of their stand up shows really hit the mark. Don't get me wrong - they were funny but just not great funny. They all had parts of their shows that weren't funny because they were either cringe worthy, awkward, not delivered well or they were too regional.

Kanan's show though having some issues was excellent. He is the first Indian comic(besides Vir das) whose show was sublime. His entire show is relatable, his delivery is excellent and I spent most of the show totally impressed with the way he handled himself.

Kanan could have done without the encore joke - which was just nasty and cringe worthy.

An extremely well written and well thought out show. I left the show thinking this show can be up there with the great stand up comedy shows from Hollywood comics.

Looking forward to see more from him.

• An absolute laughter riot!
• Great script
• He has a good flow and is entertaining
• One of the few great enjoyable specials on Amazon.
• Just watched his show right after watching a very horrible Amazon special of 1 hr 30 mins of rubbish prior to this. Kanan doesn't disappoint!
• He has great stage charisma
• This shows a definite must watch

Look forward to seeing more of him!

Where do I begin with?. Well. Kannan Gill is seriously the best comedian out there. His Jokes are very relatable, may happen with anyone of us at any given time. What sets him apart from his fellow comedians is that His stories are very believable (although some of them might be made up for the show) but the delivery of each and every joke is made in such a way that it's very difficult not to believe them.

A Very subtle, no unnecessary raunchy jokes to interest the audience, This is what good stand up comedians do. I've been following Stand Up comedy for a while now this by far has been my favourite stand up over the last few years.

I may have missed his live shows. But this video made me realise what I've been missing.

I really had a great 1 hour watching it.

It was filled with: 1) Great witty humour 2) Great delivery 3) Great timing.

He can even make a sensitive topic sound funny in a classy manner. This guy is really amazing!! I had seen him in 'Pretentious Movie Reviews' and used to like his jokes there but this one was simply amazing.

Waiting for more such performances!!

Absolutely super pub writing,observations and wit.highly under rated special.
