Once upon a time in my dumb life, stand up comedy (i mean, what else), by Sumit Anand

[@tamald7364]

He is so unapologetically unique. One of the greatest comics of our country.

Reach out to him bhai if it's possible, invite him to your show or do something for him, anything . He is having a hard time. I might be way out of line to ask you for this, sorry, but I see a sad and depressed boy inside him.Help him in any way, if you can bhai.

[@wafamansoor8764]

Sumit has been my yardstick for measuring other comedians for last 4-5 years. He is way ahead of his time. It will take people at least a decade to realize his "Inception" level of comedy. He delves into his own unconscious and takes people there with him without them realizing it. Big fan from Sindh, Pakistan.

[@Sajteman]

If you sing well, he can die for you. (for context watch his latest live stream) cheers👍

[@jayded]

You've deeply understood Sumit more than his parents.

Pain disguised as comedy, You are a legend Sumit Bhai ❤

[@karthikvyas3479]

Dave Chappelle, when he accepted the Mark Twain Prize, said that he is a musician; the audience is his instrument, and their laughter is the music he makes. Sumit Anand, in my view, is a similar musician. He is a master of his craft, and calling this piece "real" doesn't even cut it. To masterfully weave two distinct narratives; that of the man who never grew up with the jaded adult who misses the folly of his youth, takes an understanding of standup comedy which is the product of deep thought, sheer hard work, and painstaking self introspection. But above all, to Sumit Anand the human being - thank you. Thank you, for putting yourself out there for us to observe, listen to and learn from. Thank you for being so raw, open and for letting us into your personal life. It's been incredible seeing your journey over the years; from chipkalis racing across the walls & maids stealing spoons, to being able to tell your girlfriend "did you know that?" (perhaps this the same girl in this skit too), to whether there was a time limit on the treatment of minorities, to now, your married life and the real thoughts that a man as (ps. you are not alone!) Its easy for us to look at this as just your body of work, but we forget that this is your life, your lived experience. We don't take this for granted, and we are grateful to be able to witness, what I think, is comedic genius. Thank you, and looking forward to the next one.

[@NishantMittalVideos]

This was... melancholic. I sincerely wish you all the luck, Sumit. You're an incredible talent. I hope you can find happiness soon. The world needs you. :)

[@SidGolan]

What makes you think he isn't happy? Lol.

[@abhishekkashyap1163]

I don't know if this could be called stand up comedy. Yeah it's really funny, but it's one of the most "real" things I've ever seen. It's something much more than a comedy set and the video style also compliments that really nicely. Keep going man. ♥♥

[@aanand_babu]

Admit it : Deep down most of us want to be like this. Unbothered, unapologetic and showing the middle finger to fucking everything in the society. Liked you from day 1 bro ❤

[@sunderrajan6540]

I like this dude cuz he's who I see in my mirror

[@thewanderer8860]

i am already

[@tarcasm]

What a wholesome piece of comedy (poetry) is this. Writing this set must have meant going through all the memories in his head, going to those dark places, playing those scenarios again, analyzing them again and again, dealing with all the emotional baggage of the past and then overcoming all those emotions and bringing out jokes for public to laugh is a work of great courage. Most people just detach from past and try to move on and never touch those emotions. But this my dear friend, takes courage. Kudos. Felt goosebumps. ❤ And yes, not a single word said against her even after all the court cases etc. Keeping all jokes on himself. Downplaying himself throughout. Speaks truly of a man's character. Might not have been a great husband material according to her but hey, you can't please everyone in life. And that's that. Cheers bro.

I was wondering how can this man still make jokes on such personal issues. It takes courage , maturity and honestly to share such incidents in funny ways with world. Kudos Sumit

[@jineshshrimankar1185]

Sumit anand I just wanted to say no one has ever shared their trauma that have veiled on you cleverly and articulated with the-sense of humour its pure raw and brilliance you have man. I envy your sense of humour and intelligence you have. Truly an epitome of masterpiece. I know you’re underrated but that’s where I feel more privileged that I am one of the fans who get to see this masterpiece. More love and power to you man. Hell of a watch 🦉

[@SidGolan]

I'm sure it wasn't easy opening up like this about a major personal event in your life. Comedy does arise out of the darkest of moments.

[@sbharuka]

The closing...MIND BLOWN!!! His set it everything it takes to be world class performer. Kudos.

[@usamaahmedbhatti]

oh bhai saab!! hasna tha ya rona tha? You articulated it well enough Sumit. ❤

[@gauravshahi2127]

Amazing, just goddam amazing. Stand up in India is still gaining it's legs, we are still writing jokes. But this right here is what you get when you start saying the most naked form of your thoughts without embellishments, what you live is what you say and the jokes are there to nudge along the narrative and then in the end what you leave your audience with is a sense of catharsis. I hear legends of comedy veterans in New York who sometimes walk into a club at 2 or 3 in the morning and just pour the utmost essence of the craft that they have refined throughout their career. Those are the best performances. This felt like that.

[@fatalerror255]

You just replayed my entire failed marriage and I laughed at it so hard😂. Simply hilarious

[@josu2224]

Thoughts that come to your mind when you are living alone are crazy, but they make you dig into your subconscious thoughts, well I just saw that in this set. You were like 'nothing left to loose'. Amazing Bold, intellectual comedy that questions the politically correct society. 👏

[@prinsondsouza1942]

this is one of those pieces of art that'll never leave you. Raw, gut-wrenching and served with utmost honesty. I'm flabbergasted by this performance. Sumit Anand is one of the best things to have happened to the Indian stand-up scene. This was a beautiful watch, can't wait to return to this, again ❤🥂

[@ninadnaval3822]

I saw this set live and truly felt the weight of trauma that Sumit must have gone through. However, my only gripe is we went expecting his standard set(lizard on the wall, kahi mai samay toh nhi type comedy) but he delivered a mildly funny but deeply personal set. Had mixed feelings at the end. Hope everything works out well for you Sumit. All the best !

@@SubhajitBiswas-o1t 7 That's apparent from the video bro. The joy of the careless college romance didn't make it's way into the serious marriage which he wasn't prepared for. They both grew resentful of each other, he initiated divorce & she retaliated by slapping multiple legal cases on him, mostly false.

Didn't want to end this video. So relatable... never imagined those dark thoughts can be worded so elaborately. Thanks for this piece.

[@mayb8876]

I can't tell you how much I loved this. This shit's meant for someone that's a little messed up in the head, somebody that's experienced major anxiety. Sumit plays with emotions rather than situations in the setup of his jokes. It's so good! So refreshing to see stand-up being different from ...x was doing this, then i said this then x said that and i said abe bakchodi karra kya? The audience didn't laugh at some jokes i thought that were great. Which i think is a great tragedy about finding audience. I would have lmaod so much sitting in the audience rather than watching this on my phone at 11:30pm alone in my bedroom. I love the vulnerability, love the style. Thank you man!

[@anshulkumar6638]

His dry humour is what I like the most and I also find myself thinking about the things he say. Keep it up dude. Great set.
