Biswa Kalyan Rath: Biswa Mast Aadmi

Of all the new specials from Indian standup comics out there currently, Biswa's special is the winner. Its a well written show and feels like a proper one hour special. Some pieces should have been tighter and not as stretched as they were but overall it was good. Really liked the callbacks and Biswa touching some taboo topics. I was expecting he would explore more in some of these topics but thats just me. A stand up comic is the voice of the generation, he is the voice that brings reason to a world full of chaos, he is the one that points of hypocrisy in things and the comics in India have to travel long to reach that but Biswa is the one who is ahead than his peers on that road.

I watched few of the jokes he used in his set at a live show. The show was amazing so is this set. You can relate to the jokes he is telling you about parents point of view on sports. I always like the way he build up a joke and his jokes are getting better. This set is also pretentious about cricket enthusiasm and calculations. Mast hai ekdum!!!

Biswa has been able to hold on to the audience throughout this show. Be it his out of the box punch lines or just connecting stuff up throughout the show (also including various science jokes in between), Biswa has done the job perfectly. It's funny, interesting and the bits are not something you would have seen any other comedian do. Nothing common throughout the whole show.

A minor set back for me was his modified voice. He's speaking in kind of a maamu Mumbaiya accent throughout, which I don't think is his real accent, which you'll realize when he ends the show and speaks very normally right at the end. But I guess it's there to help make the jokes funnier, so it's all good.

Title says it all. Not a single moment of dullness, right from the beginning. Very intelligent writing.

For the first, I had to create an IMDB account, only to rate this stand-up. Needless to say, it cracked me up.
