Kanan Gill and Kenneth Sebastian’s stand up acts at Gargi’s Reverie 2015

The surprise element of Reverie 2015, the stand-up comedy performances Kanan Gill and Kenneth Sebastian, saw the crowd of Gargi College going into a frenzy just to witness the event. Taking over the stage first, Kanan Gill was welcomed with an uproar of applause.

 

Beginning with how he can see his face every time he switches on the TV (thanks to the matrimonial advertisement he just shot) he went on cracking the audience up on his analysis of the old show ‘Mahabharat’. The entire auditorium was filled with the mirth of modern-day, highly relatable comedy which was thoroughly enjoyed by all spectators. Furthermore, Kanan welcomed Kenneth Sebastian on stage who’s well-known amongst the younger generation for his stand-up comedy and musical performances. Instantly, the audience was caught in a laughing fit when he started describing the plight of central schools across India and how much he loved grade 10 Biology (we all know why!). Kenneth interacted with the audience time and again when he spoke to a few girls from the stage and composed satirical songs based on whatever little knowledge he could gather of them. A packed audience at Kenneth Sebastian's performance at Reverie 2015. The interaction was gladly welcomed by everyone in the audience, hoping to speak to Kenny. The performance lasted for about an hour and a half and ended on a note of massie appreciation and exuberance on behalf of the students and staff of Gargi College.
