Gaurav Kapoor is a journalist by profession, a sweet Delhi boy by heart. He has a journalism degree and a corporate job by day, where he spends most of his time collecting matter for his show. His sharp wit and candid humor lead him to win almost all the open mics he’s been to
When he first started he opened for the world famous comic Russell Brand. The first time Gaurav Kapoor stepped into the was not at a stage but at his office and was chosen as the funniest guy in the group. Gaurav is originally from west Delhi, which gives him the accent and connects to the masses from the urban areas. His specials are mostly about things he has observed during the day during his school, college, office and his everyday general life.
He usually talks about Culture(jaat), people who buy Royal Enfield’s and poverty which is mostly his own. This combination, usually no Indian person can not relate to, which makes the Indian audiences fall in love with him.
Gaurav’s Royal Enfield joke became quite famous among the crowd, but everything good has a price to pay. He also got a lot of backlash from the people, but again not everyone has to like the same thing.
He has over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube. When asked about himself Gaurav says that he is actually a little boy in a man’s body. Gaurav’s jokes are all the more hilarious because they are extremely relatable to the Indian audience. He uses references from our childhood cliched stories like the Hathi-chiti story.
Gaurav Kapoor is one of the comedians who are on the right path with the right kind of humor. If you haven’t ever watched any of his shows, leave everything you are doing and watch it now and for sure you won’t ever regret leaving everything to watch his shows.
