View all categoriesOur take
A short Netflix stand-up special where Nimesh Patel riffs on new parenthood, his Indian family group chat, broken healthcare bills and messy US politics. Strong swearing, adult sexual and gender jokes, drinking humour and sharp talk about racism, religion and violence in the news run through the set. Fine with a parent from 15. Younger teens may bounce off the political and sexual punchlines.
Uplifting themes
Under the politics, he keeps pushing an optimistic stick-with-it outlook A new dad tries to stay hopeful while calling out unfair systems
Story (may spoil tone)
In his first Netflix special, Nimesh Patel talks rebelling against his traditional parents and why you should never go viral in India.
