I discovered Abijit Ganguly through the controversy of Kapil Sharma lifting one of his jokes for his show without giving Ganguly any credit. I found a bunch of his stand-up comedy videos on his YouTube channel. But it is in the last few months that I have become a huge admirer of his strong content. Straight faced dialog delivery with expressive eyes, his jokes hit a solid punch on the face of our hypocrite society. He is opinionated and is often trolled for his bold views but keeps getting better at taking those offensive comments in his stride to create an impactful content again.

Married to a Gujarati, this Bengali performer speaks humorously about mundane things like his cross-cultural marriage, the concept of millennial couples, funny side of friendships just like he manages to effortlessly switch over to the current political situation in the country. His words make much more sense than most of the politicians in power today. Watch the video at the end of my post for confirmation
This is the 7th post in the #BlogchatterA2Z series under the theme ‘Laugh in the time of Corona.’ I hope to see you tomorrow when I disclose the name of the comedian featured in my post for H.
You can read all the posts in this challenge here. Have fun and don’t forget to laugh!

That video was hilarious! Thank you for saving me from lockdown blues, one video at a time. 🙂
Finally here is one man I know. No, not Kapil Sharma but Abijit Ganguly himself. What a straight face and remarkable jokes. I never took comedy seriously Sonia😁 After your series I’ve just begun to.
I had watched a couple of videos of Abijit Ganguly long back. Your post refreshed that laughter and now I am geared to catch up on more of his standups. Thank you! 😊😊
I think it’s a swell idea to start the day with your post. What a clip you have chosen. Only a comedian would have thought to compare Bhai and Modiji. Superb!
