Being kannadiga, Languages, social media, and dating: Stand up comedy by Suhas Navarathna

Suhas Navarathna is a stand up comedian from Bangalore, India. Growing up in a middle class kannadiga background Suhas, realised during college that stand up comedy was his calling. He dropped out and here he is. His set on social media, dating, and being a kannadiga deals with the trials and tribulations of a native Kannada speaker in Bangalore, dating in Bangalore, and the cluster-fuckery that is social media.
