Come back to the UK man :(

He's a great comedian. He'll do well here, I think. Glad he made the trip to LA.

English humour will not be appreciated in US

[@rockmyballsplease]

English humOR will do fine here as long as he says pants instead of trousers, he will be fine. Plenty of comedians with English humor have done fine here. Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, John Oliver, Craig Ferguson, Russel Brand, Jim Jeffries (Australian but) Billy Connelly, Jimmy Carr have had very successful runs in the U.S.

You should listen to Romesh on the Adam Buxton podcast, It's a funny all round podcast and he touches on what this show is.

[@kemchy3838]

Surely, they're knew he was joking. They looked serious as can be

[@ben1210]

Will Ranga be battling over there?

[@Poemi10304]

I like him, but dang, all these subscriptions add up. I may as well have cable again if I’m going to subscribe to each and every television site. >:(

Living in LA I wanted to go to check out his show last year. But it was in December, (when everyone goes on holiday), at the Greek Theatre in the cold and i was like who arranged this?

[@NazHussain]

Did you just watch the video and then type out the basic premise of what we learned from his interview?

[@greent16]

Naz Hussain Who knows what you learned, from anything for that matter.

[@Jeff121456]

Great comedian. He will have to change a bit to hit America square.

[@heidimelissa5352]

'I am enjoying the new series, But the episode where he let people film a porn shoot in his families home, I felt was crossing the line. Even filming in his child's bedroom. Not funny at all!! 🙄'

[@Harihar_Patel]

He won't make it in America, his comedy is UK specific.

[@AllThatJuice-]

americans like ricky gervais so it could work

[@liamanderson8789]

Bruce Wayne Ricky gervais is a much better comedian

[@Harihar_Patel]

It's tough for Romesh, firstly because he is black. America has racist undertones especially in the republican states. His comedy is very dry and UK centric, a lot of americans won't understand it. I do wish him the best of luck, but Romesh would do much better building his base in the UK.

[@Harihar_Patel]

He looks black, I know he is south indian, but he would be classed as black in america.

[@Harihar_Patel]

Exactly, Americans need direct comedy, they don't understand irony. That is why the tv show friends did so well in America, British comedy is subtle.
