Aakash Gupta won Comicstaan season two and has since played more than 500 sold-out shows, with clips that have racked up over 190 million views. Daily Ka Kaam Hai is his touring hour performed entirely in Hindi, landing in a small East Village room rather than a theatre. If you want stand-up in Hindi from one of India's biggest touring comics at close range, this afternoon show is the whole reason.
What to expect
A compact club room with tables facing the stage and drink service before the show begins. The set is a single solo hour in Hindi with no opener and no interval. Expect a full house of fans who have followed the specials and clips online, and a room that reacts loudly to the material they already know.
Good to know
- Take the 6 to Astor Pl or the F to Second Ave; the club is on East Fourth Street
- The performance is entirely in Hindi with no translation
- It is an afternoon show, so the rest of the evening stays open
- Best for Hindi speakers and fans of the Indian stand-up circuit
- The room is small and sells out, so walk-ups are risky
