I forgot to mention this earlier, and I should have because half the dates are already gone. But better late than never!

Kanan Gill! I love him! You know that really smart snarky guy who always says the smartest things at parties and makes you laugh until you snort milk out of your nose? That’s Kanan Gill. I first found him thanks to moviemavengal/pardesi sharing his youtube videos about movies with me. Like this one:

That was about 4 years ago, he kept up those videos and added in some “man on the street” interviews, and a few clips of stand-up. And then he got a chance to be in a movie (Noor) where he was super charming and fun, but the movie around him was terrible. And now he has reached the point of a world tour of his stand up.

I saw him on Sunday and it was WONDERFUL. I saw Vir Das when he was in town about 6 months ago, and that was eh. It was in a comedy club, lots of people were there because it was a fun evening out and they could drink and make noise and stuff, and his jokes were slanted for that crowd, a lot of pretty raunchy stuff that is funny if you are a little drunk. Kanan Gill wasn’t like that at all. It was in an actual theater on a stage, no drinking and no noise. And he just talked for an hour and a half and was super smart and super funny. Nothing very raunchy, nothing that you are just laughing at because it is so shocking and not because it is funny, all very light and clever and pleasant.

Anyway, here is the website that lists out the rest of his tour dates, if he is going to be near you, I highly HIGHLY recommend going. It’s just a pleasant happy way to spend an evening with pleasant happy people, and I’m sorry I didn’t put this up sooner if you already missed him in your city: http://kanangill.com/home/tours/teetar.html
