What do you do when you have less than a week to come up with a brand-new comedy set? You turn to the most chaotic, unpredictable, and unintentionally hilarious source of content—the news.
In this clip, I take a deep dive into the absurdity of daily headlines, proving that reality is often funnier (and scarier) than fiction. From political narratives to bizarre rich man’s problems, and of course, the infamous Trevor Noah’s Bangalore show getting cancelled, I stitched together a set entirely out of news stories—because if journalists can spin headlines into clickbait, why can’t I spin them into punchlines?
The Trevor Noah saga, in particular, was comedy gold. A world-class comedian arrives in Bangalore, only to find out that the venue’s sound system is a metaphor for Indian infrastructure—ambitious but barely functional. People showed up expecting world-class humor and ended up experiencing the true Bangalorean experience—being stuck in traffic just to be disappointed.
This set was a mix of satire, observational humor, and the harsh reality of living in a world where every day feels like a script written by confused AI. If you love news, hate news, or just enjoy watching me try to make sense of it all in real-time, this one’s for you!
