While the world is still reeling from the long-lasting impact of the pandemic, sometimes being able to take a step back and banking on humour may be the best way to cope with it. Stand-up comic Aditi Mittal’s new show, The Unreliable Narrator, promises to do just that. While her earlier show, performed online, focused on fake news and how we responded to it, this one is quite different. “It feels as if we don’t really want to talk about the pandemic and want to forget all about it because it was a time that was really bad for us. I’m concerned that because we refuse to talk about it, in a few years, we are going to forget that it happened. A part of me feels like it never happened,” admits Mittal. “I believe the pandemic was a great learning moment for us as a race, and I think we didn’t take that learning. The show is about how we write our own histories and how the pandemic and the narrative within it inform my present,” she explains. Just when we nod in agreement, she quips, “I’m intellectualising it — it’s a bunch of ridiculous jokes about the pandemic.”
Mittal who has just travelled to Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai on tour is performing live on stage after three long years. “I still get nervous when I see a crowd where no one’s wearing a mask. There was a whole new level of paranoia,” she confesses.
