Artist
Host : Anirban Dasgupta
A Bengali who decided to get married at the age of 24 (he really couldn’t wait to settle down), Anirban Dasgupta is a Kolkata-based engineer turned comedian who has made a career out of making hasty decisions (becoming a stand-up comedian being another one). He was of the founders of Comedified, one of the first legit comedy groups of Kolkata, and was instrumental in establishing a comedy scene in the sleepy city. With jokes, puns and sketches based on stories from his personal life, on stage, he likes to about his inter-community marriage, corporate life, politics (being Bengali), social media and various current affairs. Earlier in 2018, Anirban released his Amazon Prime Special called 'Take It Easy' jokes about the internet era and his experiences in his hometown, Kolkata. If you see him after a show, offer him something sweet and he might tell you a few extra jokes!
