Indian Insults & Comebacks | Stand-up Comedy by Abhishek Upmanyu

About this Video

Abhishek Upmanyu mines comedy gold from the peculiar landscape of Indian insults and parental comebacks in this five-minute set. Drawing on his signature self-deprecating style, the Delhi-based comedian unpacks the sharp wit and rapid-fire retorts that define Indian family dynamics. Rather than shying away from the sting of these verbal exchanges, Upmanyu leans into the absurdity, finding humor in the specific cultural texture of growing up with parents who weaponize language with surgical precision. The bit captures that distinctly Indian experience where insults are delivered with affection and comebacks are an art form.
