Debuted at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival earlier this year, Cry Daddy explores two childhoods – with a twist. Anirban’s childhood dream was to become a sports person. But instead of Lord’s, he ended up at Soho Theatre. Clearly it didn’t work out.
Now, as a dad navigating the chaotic second half of life, he’s rethinking the rules and wondering if everything from comedy to raising a kid is actually just a game? Who’s winning, who’s losing, what’s really the endgame? Come find out in this new stand-up comedy thriller that will go down to the wire!
Kolkata-born, Mumbai-based Anirban is a stand-up comedian, screenwriter and new father with a distinct comedic style. A former corporate salesman, Anirban has performed extensively in India and across the world including the prestigious Just For Laughs in Montreal and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. His first stand-up special Take It Easy was released on Amazon Prime Video to wide acclaim, as was Afsos, the dark comedy series he created.
