Black Dog Scotch Whisky always supports different kinds of
entertainment programs in India. They organize the Black Dog Easy Evenings where you can listen to great music.
Similarly they organize Black
Dog Comedy Evenings where
they invite local and international comedians to come and perform. This way
they encourage new activity of watching stand-up comedy in India.
So it was really heartening
to see that Papa
CJ (India’s Comedy Export) was
performing in Bangalore at Black Dog Comedy Evenings. Opening for Papa CJ was
local talent Praveen
Kumar. The event was held at the wonderful CityBar in UB city in
Bangalore. The place was packed with lot of people who had heard of Papa CJ
through his Youtube videos and wanted to catch up with him and listen to his
jokes live! People started coming in to the City Bar by around 8pm. They were
seen enjoying their Black Dog Scotch Whisky on the rocks or with soda. The
smooth taste of the Scotch Whisky was really appreciated by most of the
audience members.
Around 9pm, comedian Praveen Kumar came on to the stage and
warmed up the audience slowly but surely with his jokes on IPL, Tamil people,
Rajnikanth, Bangalore roads, lack of Bangalore nightlife, etc. He was saying
his jokes with the accent of a tamilian speaking english which was really
hilarious. People who didn’t initially know who Praveen was and why was he
opening for Papa CJ, crackled with laughter and hooted as he continued entertaining us.
After
entertaining the audience for 15mins, Praveen invited Papa CJ on the stage to
thundering applause.
Papa CJ immediately became comfortable with the Bangalore
audience as he joked about how far the airport was, how bad the bangalore roads
were, how he could get arrested in Bangalore by just shaking his hips to a
dance number. He had jokes on the characteristics of almost all the ethnic
groups in India like Bengalis, Marwaris, Sindhis, Parsis, Punjabis and
Delhities. It was amazing to see him have such a wonderful understanding of
each of the ethnic groups not just in India but elsewhere too. Some of his
rollicking jokes were how Michael Schumacher races with Delhi call centre
driver in Indian F1 race and loses, what is the difference between Marwari
women and Punjabi women and what does Susu mean in Bali. If you want the
answers to these questions, you will have to just see his next show!
