+ Feedback from Fans \\ 09.27.10
One of the best compliments I recieve is from fans, especially when they want to give me feedback on my act. Here’s a recent conversation I had with a 15 year old fan from England:
Ozzy: Your jokes aren’t funny. You should do jokes with the Indian accent about your parents. You’re making fun of your own kind. Do more of that.
Me: What about social commentary? Or other things that i find funny in my day to day life. Actually, my parents are really normal, kind people. They’re funny in different ways than their accent.
Ozzy: That’s irrelavant because people only want to hear how simple then next indian parent is. You need to make sure other indian americans can relate to it thats one target market and that americans can find it funny to laugh at.
Me: What if I write about what I believe is funny? That way everyone can enjoy it? Whether they’re Indian or not. Will that work?
Ozzy: No.
Me: You know, my friend Hari knows this comic ‘Manoj’. I think you’d love him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNeyWm64kGo
Ozzy: Yes hes funny but i meant something a bit different
Me: Ok make sure you add him on Facebook and buy his album.
Ozzy: Ok watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw6RgIf6epQ (Russell Peters). Watch that. You follow him and your guranteed succes. Not copy but follow! He mocks his own kind in away that other people such as yourself can relate to. other american born indians are going to watch that and think hey my parents do that or my uncle or grandad does that and americans are going to watch it and think hey its funny that you do that.
Me: That would be stealing—which is bad for a comedian. Also, what if those people are laughing at our people? not with us? Doesn’t that put us down in the long run?
Ozzy: the opposite cos people can learn to forget about that because it was just a joke and can say hey hes indian and hes funny thats the great thing about comedy. everybody loves an indian taking the mick out of others everyone wins. take my advice it should pay off.
Me: Ok I will.
Ozzy: Got any new material?
Me: Yes but you’ll hate it because I don’t have an accent in it.
Ozzy: Ok
