"In 2016, I was pursuing a course at the Miami Ad School, and headed to New York for a year. I would do my internship during the day and go for gigs afterwards. I also blogged about my experience but by the seventh month, I decided to document my experience," Chabbria tells us, elaborating on how the series was conceptualised. He also highlights the broad differences between the "scene" in India versus the US. "I learnt that there, comedians end up being themselves, and don't turn into stereotypical pop culture icons; maybe because we're so star-struck as a nation. Here a good comedian means a viral comedian."

Chhabria hopes to pitch the series to streaming platforms, so he can try this out in more countries. This week at a comedy club in Bandra, he will delve into a wide range of content. "I'll be talking about everything from Indian parents to mental health. As a comedian, I don't put myself in a box."
