“Learn from the dogs! With one sound ‘bow’ they are communicating globally and here we are making different languages and speaking them in various accents,” said Abhishek Upmanyu.
The Mumbai-based comedian was in the city to perform his hour-long special Thoda Saaf Bol at Kalabharti Auditorium .
The show was presented by Goa-based Las Viegas Comedy Club in association with Vizag Komedians.
Abhishek found funny things to share about his experiences that ranged from the snacks served at single screen theatres to his adopting a cat! And right through his performance was the underlying matter of feminism.
Wrapped up in jokes and punchlines the issue was delivered with wit as Abhishek questioned the logic behind male right activism.

- There has been a spurt of stand up acts in the city with the following stars performing here.

- Aadar Malik
- Angad Singh Ranyal

With over 13 lakh subscribers on YouTube and 42,000 followers on Twitter, the comedian is popular.
Abhishek kept the giggles and snorts coming in with his perfect comic timing and his encounters with people and experiences in Delhi and Mumbai. Then of course were his struggles with academics.
