Wrapping up the first few of 27 shows in the USA, stand-up comic Amit Tandon says a notable shift in the perception of Indian comics in America, is now palpable. “I do my skits in Hindi, and I am glad to see the way audiences are connecting with it. But, things were different in 2017, when I did my first USA tour. People consumed English content more, but I decided to stick to my style in Hindi. The success of that show gave confidence to the organisers to bring in more shows in our language. Now, seeing so many Hindi comics doing stand-up makes me feel like my decision paid off,” says the comedian.
