When the comic has such good timing that it makes the whole concept of separating her from her audience moot...

[@cherylwalker4854]

Yeah. This is the first time I've seen one of these, and while I liked her jokes, they were jokes and had no other quality evident in them from her not having the immediate feedback from the audience. After the set and interview were over, I was still expecting more, saying, "What? Was that it? Is there a evaluation going on somewhere if I were watching this on TV? If they're trying to force me to go to cc.com they're not doing a very good job cuz I have no idea where I look on the site nor what I'd be looking for!"

[@belovedconsole]

"I actually like rainy weather cuz for me it reminds me of why I got in the whole depression game?" The line itself is good, the delivery makes it great

[@love-hammer]

"That's art. That's what art is about." so good!

[@SomethingSeemsOff]

my favorite line

[@tshewoo]

"even my personality's the wrong shape" XD

[@cherylwalker4854]

That line reminded me of the Japanese light novel that's being fan translated right now at lightnovelbastion, called something like the Death Mage that Doesn't Want a 4th Time. The lead character's name is Vandalieu. His soul's shape is variable, to say the least. The Korean novel Isaac being translated at the same site is also very excellent although not as many chapters are translated at the moment, and it takes a while to get to the other world.

[@belovedconsole]

I love what she does, and it's trippy to see her do this without even hearing feedback from the audience

[@AUZlE]

I love Aparna's voice. It's adorable.

[@johntao6822]

I do too. There's this woman she did a show with who copied her voice--SO fake!

[@misterhorse8327]

Hollyhock from Bojack!

[@sugartub]

her timing is great! I loved her set!

[@childofpersia1213]

LMFAO at summer podcast optimism. 😂😂😂 so good

[@chrisg6091]

Man she's a natural. Could talk under water I think. Her timing is perfect. Very enjoyable person to listen to. 👍👏

[@sadiqmohamed681]

Her timing and delivery are awesome. I've only just discovered her via Colbert.

[@tlhalefang__]

Also just came from seeing her on Colbert

[@hbeachley]

What an exciting to be experiencing!!! Fun the first time!!! And great to hear again.

[@krystinabenedetti5957]

She KILLED it!! Love her. Love her relatability.

[@Mut1late]

"ferral models" lmao! 💀

[@Jaguar7444]

Why is the video less than 6 minutes long if it's "7 minutes in Purgatory"?

[@timandae.6332]

Jaguar7444 there were a lot of cuts

[@MitchKarlo]

Jaguar7444 my favorite question

[@Geo.StoryMaps]

[@jgilmer]

Great timing. I like her!

[@kimmirandaart9909]

She killed it!

[@Blacksnyder]

She's pretty good.

[@tapena5219]

I love her! She has a new album out and it's really funny

[@ancientnewborn22]

The dark foreshadowing to how comedy shows now go down during Covid

[@EmiMakesIt]

She gives me life! Feral models.....I'm dying.

[@hhehheehehehhdjdj5862]

This is the best one

[@MitchKarlo]

She was awesome!!!

[@naxT890]

OMG she was in in Masters of None. He was hilarious in that.

[@evankam28]

This is all to relatable and down-to-earth. I LOVE IT!!

[@RamessesIX]

Irresistible. People who thumbs down on this should be on a watch list for suspicious digging in their back yards.

[@johntang3343]

Perfect set

[@kpetrova9835]

She is so funny!! I only just found out about her. Thank u Netflix Philippines for recommending Aparna. Love her such a wholesome artist!! Hilarious! Me and my family loves her. Oh bless your heart u made our day Aparna 💙 Love from Philippines 🇵🇭

[@DoctorDejay]

That voice though....Reminds me of the movie Fargo

[@themaggattack]

DoctorDejay she actually sounds sorta like Joan Cusack.

[@bitchface235]

shes actually quite funny....i think i shall look for more comedy footage of her

[@laineydiamond]

Do you talk like that irl?

[@bitchface235]

no not really

[@JetPuff96]

Her album is great and on spotify, some of these jokes on there, but its better and longer!

[@BritneyT.]

@@JetPuff96 I'll be sure to check it out!

[@yazhini5652]

I read that in Captain Holt’s voice

[@purplefireweed]

Awesome Airily Audacious Aparna! More more more....can't get enough of you! --Adoring Aparna Ally 💖

[@gregglockhart9551]

Yay! Fantastic job!

[@ToaRanen7]

2:02 the audience absolutely slept on that joke

[@sarahmochan6149]

she's awesome!

[@sirsnowy7986]

man I like this humor. unsponsored but watch bojack horseman

[@shwetakulkarnivanbiesen20]

Really good. :D

[@JoleneRamsahai]

i like her!

[@shunkela]

I love Aparna! She's the best

[@jackthomas1011]

Heard her on the radio today. Best female comedian I know of.

[@moushmakosa9111]

yasss Aparna yaassss

[@Ludifant]

This is incredibly brave for anyone who is not as good as she turned out to be.. What a nightmare this must have been.

[@SaudDowaihy]

She's hilarious. This is a good show!

[@kellyteaford4181]

Oh my god I think she's BETTER without an audience. I've never seen a comic for who that is true before. She's amazing.

[@blanu2]

So funny! 😂

[@alanmadlinski8616]

this show is pretty cool.

[@littleghostfilms3012]

She is so observant and able to take a premise and extend it out further for unexpected laughs.

[@AshishGupta-ql9lq]

i have to face the same situation in delhi metro couples blocking my path

[@thebronxbarberty180]

perfect idea, should have a million views by now.

[@basilrodericks7791]

Why? Why is this a good idea? Seems contrived af but I liked her.

[@tejayjr.9893]

DAMN, she was GOOD!

[@axizz100]

nice

[@josephvail6749]

She’s so funny and cute!

[@DoraeArtDreams-Aspy]

She is Centi aka Nephrite! :D

[@andrewjohnson6716]

I can't imagine why anyone would ever do something this cruel to a comedian. Then Aparna Nancherla proves that she's totally immune!

[@shl9560]

I'm a straight woman who suddenly has a massive crush on ms. Nancherla. Is this a normal side effect of hearing one of her sets?

[@zzzcocopepe]

Well she's been doing the same set for ten years, let's be real. No but this is the first video I've ever seen of her. She's fucking hilarious and she's one of my favorites Oh wait, I haven't heard half of these jokes of hers. I think she is INTP. It's funny because I think this is her best set ever. Her timing is perfect here. Usually when she's in front of a crowd, she slows down and stares off into space every other sentence. Lol. But here she's just on it.

[@lunchbox2085]

Hey at 0:28, it's Dave.

[@artistadam2002]

Fucking honest and funny! Thank you for sharing

[@PRStuntin6693]

I got hella Canadian vibes from this awesome comic

[@hawihawi9260]

Proof that she doesn't need audience approval to be funny

[@mehjones8008]

SHE IS GREAT💕💞💜. (Aging) Seinfeld's replacement

[@davidgibbs614]

Very funny

[@gambit5837]

She's funny

[@NMCSG]

This video has so little views for Comedy Central

[@reemalzubaidy9434]

It’s impressive and a little unsettling that she can do this staring at a wall

[@greenghost2008]

her jacket is blue just like her.

[@PrettyH8Mach1n3]

Eiffel 65 remix

[@cmukupo1606]

Practicing for corona

[@sawdustanddiamonds99]

I rly love her set, theres a ton of v funny lines that didnt even register w the audience. Only thing is all the cuts are quite jarring tbh

[@laurieherman1215]

I would be more worried that the person before me Fartbox the truck.

[@nazia2164]

No comments? Seriously?

[@OhHeyItsShan]

I know right? Tough crowd!

[@mirroredhour]

Sorry, but I'm an optimist who loves rainy days 😅 although goodbyes always get me down so there's that

[@kishenvashi2421]

I want to hang out with her she's so cool

[@bradyrc818]

They have outdoor snuggies? XD

[@Katiedid93]

Summer. The deodorant commercial no one signed up for. Sponsored by skin and sweat. 🖒

[@poopblockjones1388]

Oooooooooooof

[@lucianotellez115]

Title says 7 minutes, video length isn't even 6.

[@cloroxbleach5687]

Just say hell

[@Jake-dh9qk]

this feels like hell watching her

[@sebastienkleitman4307]

I like trains

[@boumkwo]

If I had a nickle everytime she said *just like*...

[@felixicon]

I saw her live. She was VERY uniqe and hilarious

[@trackatlas6626]

I'd take this girl over a model any day of the week. She's adorable (which makes her cute), but she's also funny (which makes her incredibly hot). She seems very genuine and relatable.

[@JasonKeilholtz]

Depressing thing wrapped in potato without umbrella stuffed in back of truck recorded #detailED bit bytes #art

[@katfishsucks99]

Really interesting concept, really funny comedian but taking the audience out of the equation when stand up is built off audience reaction has a obvious result

[@Ramonerdna]

Funny comedienne...also the host looks like a fatter version of George Watsky

[@Overthinker89]

She's great, but am I the only one who had trouble watching the 'seven minutes in purgatory' aspect of this performance?

[@h.p.3072]

New Yorkers really don't like people telling the truth about how awful it smells there huh?

[@mahirsiraji833]

if anyone would like copyright like the word "like"....

[@belovedconsole]

@2:03 she went way too fast! She could have stretched this out longer to get more laughs, the audience was barely keeping up. Gravitas, people. Set and setting, etc.

[@andym8557]

It's because she didn't see or hear the audience

[@PondosWorld]

aye shes better then i expected..hard for most female comics to make me laugh cuz they always do like the easy card by doing a tonb of sex or pussy jokes ..this girl talented with the personality and she gots a cute personality .. good material!

[@laineydiamond]

Men do dick and sex jokes and nobody says a word

[@NB-gu9rs]

This entire routine is ruined by the fact I keep hearing an 18-year-old horse girl and I spend the whole time worrying if she's going to be... okay. She's just too good at being Hollyhock for me to think of her as anyone else. It's like hearing your teenage sister suddenly talking about her mortgage.

[@platystrophia]

Aparna is never not funny.

[@Jay-cp9kd]

Wow.. a female comedian that's actually funny.. And she barely talked about her relationships with men! Hopefully she doesn't get successful, turn into a screaming leftist, and ruin it..

[@pcprincipal8554]

Jason Keller uh oh

[@pcprincipal8554]

Jason Keller too late

[@sirsnowy7986]

wow "hopefully she doesn't get successful" she's a person, just like you.

[@wojiaobill]

this should be easy. women love hearing themselves talk

[@cherylwalker4854]

Yeah! Men love hearing themselves talk about how men don't love hearing themselves talk.

[@strikerm70]

Not really funny.
