My First Date | Stand-Up Comedy by Shubham Upadhyay

About this Video

Shubham Upadhyay’s nine-minute set, recorded in Ahmedabad, revisits the awkward, self-aware chaos of a first date. He unpacks the gap between expectation and reality—the silent calculations, misplaced confidence, and the small humiliations that make the experience universally cringeworthy. Upadhyay’s style leans into wry, conversational Hindi storytelling, letting the pauses and his own exasperation do the comedic work. Rather than punchlines, he builds tension through detailed, familiar scenes, inviting the audience to laugh at the shared absurdity of romance’s opening act.
