If all it takes to be an expert is to call yourself one, then we're all experts. At least that's what comedian Sorabh Pant believes. Pant, who began his career writing news shows, has just released a brand new act called The Expert. It is held every Saturday, where he discusses politics, Bollywood, at times, pointless local news and a lot more.

"The potential to be taken out of context and making mistakes with opinions is far less when it's a show with 50 to 100 people; there's a lot more liberty there. This is why I decided to go beyond a ticketed platform," he reveals. The show promises to be interactive, while also being a safe space for all kinds of opinions. "Interactions are quite seamless. As people are sitting at home, they feel more comfortable than being at a show," shares Pant.

Although the virtual medium comes with its challenges, he maintains that the laidback approach gives people a platform to express their opinions and these days, laughs are a must. "I feel like we've all reached a point where people don't listen to one another without anger, so I wanted this to be a place where we could talk to each other and make funny jokes," he signs off.
