Comedy is a form of art and everyone loves a good dose of laughter. It was a laughing riot when Sorabh Pant performed at the Jharkhand Literary Meet on Saturday at Audrey House in the State’s Capital.
The audience had a difficult time keeping a straight face as he managed to crack them up after each sentence. Taking a dig from the right wing to the left wing, he covered them all. In between he also managed to scandalise the listeners with his sexual overdose. For once demonetisation was not disheartening but had one and all rolling on the floor.
Performing first time in Ranchi, Pant was greeted with a lot of cheer and enthusiasm. The young and energetic stand- up comedian had the crowd in splits for a good 60 minutes. In a one to one interactive session with the audience, apart from the youngsters, the elderly also spoke aloud about the changes comedy has been through over the years. The industry of stand- up comedians though still in its early stages is already facing defamation.
