Story Content

Comedian Kunal Kamra is facing the wrath of the Indian stand-up community with another scathing tweet against Pranit More after the raging controversy around the ₹370 biryani. In the wake of the ongoing controversy about the ₹370 biryani, comedian Kunal Kamra has become the latest name in the Indian stand-up community to be targeted by another scathing tweet, this time against Pranit More. In his statement, Kamra said, “Pranit More makes Harsh Gujral look like Barack Obama.” Which means that beyond his performance, Pranit has done a particularly bad job of dealing with the backlash, compared with other comedians.

The comment was made by Pranit during his show after receiving a huge amount of criticism from his viewers for the same comment, after which he was inundated with a police investigation and a formal apology where he asked for a “second chance." Kamra responded by writing a post (see below) that covered the obsolescence of things comedians should not be afraid of, like telling stories, crowd work, hard work, bank balance, and parents.

The angry debate has sparked discussion among the web users, and some have praised Kamra for his criticism of 'the low standard of comedy,' while others have branded him as an 'unnecessary piling on.' The incident comes as part of the debates on accountability, sensitivity in a joke, and the difference between humor and controversy in the rising comedy boom in India.
