Anirban Dasgupta returns to Soho with his signature smart, relatable and insightful comedy.

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.

As he rethinks the rules of adulthood, Anirban asks whether everything, from comedy to parenting, might just be a game. The show unfolds as an immersive stand-up match played with the audience, where each joke is scored and the contest continues until the final punchline. With yellow cards, half-time pep talks, trash talking, and shirt swapping, the audience becomes part of the action, left debating scores and outcomes as the show goes 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.
