‘Tis the season to be jolly, or is it? Kolkata-based stand-up comedian and radio personality Sourav Ghosh’s Mostly Death Jokes is — as the name suggests — a show mostly about death. This one hour show is probably the first in the country and the only stand up comedy show that explores the dark side of life.
Sourav Ghosh has been in the news earlier this year for getting Shiv Sen types all riled up with his digs at Shivaji. Read more about that here and here.
At this event, Sourav talks about suicide, death penalty and his uncle’s death etc and somehow extracts humour out of these otherwise grim subjects. We are all gonna die anyway, so embrace it and laugh at its face is the philosophy here.
