00:00Every day on YouTube, I see one Western blogger, here's what it's like to be in Mumbai, my god, the road and the people and the juice and the head massage, etc, etc, the number of Mumbaikers who are scratching themselves and one picking nose and one, you know, it says you have to edit the other angle, not even because of the lead artist, but because, madam, you are doing what you are doing.
00:26We have more English speakers in India than America.
00:28We have one of the largest English speaking audiences in the world. So, I think an English comic in India is very relatable.
00:35I think it only happens in India where language can also become a thing for discrimination.
00:40I mean, I've never been discriminated against because of my language. It's one light and there's, you know, 12,000 people around the guy who are fully lit. You can see every face in the stadium.
00:54And by the way, to edit it is a nightmare because the number of Mumbaikers who are scratching themselves and one picking nose and one, you know, it says you have to edit the other angle.
01:05Not even because of the lead artist but because, madam, what are you doing, you know, five feet behind me, etc.
01:12So, you have to edit around them also. It's a nightmare to perform for also because the first rule of stand-up is put the crowd in darkness.
01:19And they will, if you look at 90% of stand-up comedy specials, you barely see the crowd.
01:24It looks like Dante's Inferno, you know what I mean? It's like a, you can see every face. It's a lovely visual.
