If there is an Indian adaptation of Brooklyn 99 and Kanan and Abhish are not Jake and Charls I will unsubscribe.

[@someshwarrao42]

Toit. Have Tanmay Bhat as Scully.

[@spallav96]

I hope it doesn't get adapted here. But I also hope they cast Kanan as "Fake Jake" like Fake charles for one episode. That would be better. We've all suffered the Office remake.

we finally got kanan to say "cool cool cool"

[@hetaljs]

Kanan is my favorite type of comedian. So insightful yet instinctive so his comedy is effortless. You never feel like you're waiting for a set up or a joke to drop bc everything just flows. It made more sense when i found out one of his all time favorite is Eddie Izzard who is my top favorite! Although I feel bad that even though he is so loved by so many yet he is ridiculously critical of himself 😅 We love you Kanan! Thanks Abish for this episode ☺

[@aanchalpatwa525]

Man....kanan is so sorted ....he is so intelligent and spontaneou comedian...lots of love to All the comedian out there💖

It's wonderful to see Kanan come a long way from Pretentious movie reviews to Netflix. Wonderful to hear his story.

Abish is like a comedy teacher...he guide people to treasure he can not posses

[@ranjini1828]

I loved kannan's Netflix special comedy😍

[@aarushsingh9939]

Abish, just a suggestion (completely aware that I am a nobody, hihi), add a segment where they talk about their first gig: how they got it, how the journey began, how hard was it to choose it as a profession. By the way big fan of your work!

[@sonofabish]

Great idea sir. But first let us address your first statement. You: "completely aware that I am a nobody" Me: This is 'Journey Of A Joke', the most view we get on this is 1/10th of Son Of Abish. We don't do this for the public who comes here to laugh, which is where the millions is. We do this for YOU, that's where the learning is.

Okay let's just get this out of the way. The "cool cool cool" in the beginning was a deliberate reference to how Kanan looks like Jake from B99, right?

Came here to say that! 😁

Please please please ask Kannan to talk about all those books he's been reading that I see in the background....... Btw loved the episode ❤️❤️❤️

[@aniruddhagumble]

Keep doing more like these 🙌 it's really imp for ppl to know what goes into writing or performing a stand up. Comedy is serious business.

[@navyadantuluri1386]

Kanan is my favorite Indian comic and have been scouring through utube for all his videos! What a great combination of intelligent mind, charming personality and incredible cerebral sense of humour. Thanks for this one Abish

[@shoplocal7958]

Hi Abish! Thank you for doing this segment (Journey Of A Joke). It is such a privilege for viewers (like myself) to be able to get a glimpse of an artist's insights/thought process behind their content. It really enhances our experience and makes the content so much more relatable. So, thank you for doing this. Very grateful. I had a question. Would you ever consider doing an episode for Sketchy Behaviour?

[@kaustubhballaya7871]

Its nice to see a very funny guy who comes up with the best jokes and makes you laugh along with the guy who takes the "Queen" with the "King."

Hey Abish. In this comedy special, Kanan explained what a metaphor is with the help of a simile and then distinguishes between simile and metaphor. What a meta thought that was man! Can you do a brief walkthrough of that part?

How different was it from the Netflix special?

[@RoboGenesHimanshuVerma]

The hospital bit was new and the Birthday bums bit. And some connecting lines too. It's been 2 years so I'm not entirely sure of each bit 😅

[@harshithvenkatesh2053]

@@RoboGenesHimanshuVerma Isn't it crazy how comedy changes with a second watch. My favourite is to watch a special live twice weeks apart.

Kanan Looks EXACTLY like Andy Samberg dude!!! Just make him the Indian Jake Peralta.. also, Urooj would look just like Amy from the show.

[@dunkuhowls107]

I am the one.... who took the Cuckoo bird from the video, thinking I have one out in my real backyard .. in Colorado!!? I literally took my headphones off and checked on it for 5min of silence XD XD. Now... the video has become more cozy vibe to with cuckoo's sound in the background

[@vinodhiregoudar2382]

It was time pass again....😁

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Nice :)

[@onemoreishita]

So random observation. Kanan refers to America as North America, and then Indians as Asians, so is he deconstructing boundaries and uniting continents or is the map in his head always super enlarged for only continent view?

[@dhantej]

Just when he said cool cool cool.. I noticed kanan looks lot like Jake Paralta(sandy amberg)

[@joywinmadtha624]

haha. jake peralta reference..... cool cool cool cool

Hi Abish

[@nakulshahdadpuri7904]

Am I the only one, who keeps hearing that peacock?

[@preethikshetty7992]

Did you guys hear the boom sound in bengaluru... What was that😅

[@sharan9799]

I seriously want to ask this question from so long to an Indian comedian directly... Maybe someone can also make me understand too, if they know... The thing is I'm familiar with open mic culture for poetry In india, been to some.etc. But when the comedians say, they do open mics so it's like similar to what we College students do? Like there are all types of art forms and people try out their stuff there or comedy open mics are a different circuit altogether? How does all this work? I've not yet able to find some details on this part, where they develop their stuff. Just curious 😁
