Watch Anirban Dasgupta: Take It Easy (2018) in HD Streaming

If you are easily offended by jokes, the result is more jokes. Nothing in life is black and white, except Take It Easy, Anirban Dasgupta's stand-up special. His material deals with hate and love in the hostile internet era, and why both these intense emotions need to take it easy. This hour-long set captures Anirban trying to comprehend events from the past year at home and at work; events he would rather forget unless he wrote jokes on them. In 2017, Anirban had to take down a clip that contained his stand-up set on people from Kolkata and their reaction to one of the most controversial mysteries in the nation's history. This added to India's ever growing list of frivolous cases of offense on the internet. Comedians currently have to seriously self-censor their material to protect their interests in a hostile and frenzied climate. Anirban narrates this eye-opening experience from the year gone by and explores the idea of absolute freedom of expression. He also tries to find a solution to this never-ending problem of outrage over everything. He shares personal stories from the last year and attempts to explain why not having kids is the correct choice for this generation. He hopes his family sees the show to understand him. Anirban Dasgupta is a comedian and writer from Kolkata now based in Mumbai. He has been doing stand-up for the last five years, has performed extensively across the country and is a regular headliner at the top comedy clubs and properties of India. Take It Easy was performed live on tour across the country from November 2017 to June 2018.
