What you need to know:

  • Starring Aditi Mittal
  • If you get to the end, (past the half hour mark, which is where I got to) let me know if it gets any better.

I really wished they had continued to not let Aditi Mittal say anything – or maybe, let her say things, but not on a stage that’s supposed to make me laugh.

I tried to watch this stand up twice for a couple of reasons – one, I love stand up, which you know if you’ve been reading my page (and if you have, thank you!), and two, because there isn’t nearly enough good female stand-up comedy out there, so whenever I come across one, I usually try to give it a chance.

Two tries, two long naps and two weeks later, I have officially given up.

If you get to the end, (past the half hour mark, which is where I got to) let me know if it gets any better.

It isn’t that some of the jokes aren’t quite funny, but maybe they just aren’t my type of funny.

Or maybe she’s trying too hard to bring out the blend between Indian culture and English idiosyncrasies.
