Hey all, thanks for writing in with your feedback (good and bad). Appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. Working on the next one now! Cheers :)
+Daniel Fernandes , what about salman khan getting bail in 3 hours ? In matters of capital punishment, it is more about who has capital and who doesnt, rest of the content was bang on. I know it was just comedy, but being factually right adds more punch. But overall, smart piece.
+balbinder singh chaddiswarrama Not affected by hate at all buddy. Everyone's interpretation of art and display of class is very different. You just smile and wave ;)
+Umesh Krishna And you can't say Muslims wanted separation so conveniently! Some did! How can you say all did. And a HUGE part wanted to stay. You will not see that? And guess what, they African Americans are still so badly persecuted that when they can't even ask for actual rights (not just on paper) and equality in the US, how do you think would they ask for a separate state.
After having a a terrible day at work, almost about to burst into tears, I just slumped on my bed, opened RU-vid and typed in "comedy" in the search bar. Now sixteen minutes later, I cannot stop laughing and I am so glad yours was the first video to pop up! Fantastic you are! :) Do post more videos :)
u r so intellectual .. that i don't get some of the things u said.. but whatever i didn't get i thought this was bcz i need to work hard on my knowledge .. but u r awesome as i always say

Manish Kaushik Riots, we may never know their direct involvement but Modi gets a lot of shit because it happened in close vicinity, that is all and you know, liberals criticise Congress for 1984 too, it just isn't as relevant as the Gujarat Riots are to our nation's political future at the present sadly
Cut Throat, Brutal and Honest.. you sir are the future of Black-Comedy in india (with resect).. gone would be those days where senseless comedy would go away and with it some mindless surd who laughs for no bloody reason. in all the chaos and violence we need a person like you who brings in a new twist to calling a Spade, a Spade. which brings relief me that there are a few people in this country that wont shout out loud on some news channel to be heard but still convey a message that reaches far and beyond that brings out the guilt of those who "got away" Take a bow Daniel..you truly are a Comic-Relief (pun intended).. i would love to come and attend one of your shows buddy :)
I love this comedy. Nobody does dark comedy in India. Everyone's too afraid. Way to go man! Btw I never noticed the demographics of executed people. Interesting observation.
You know what Daniel, i am quite sure you will never have a lot of fans. Because through your videos you hit where it hurts most. You are talking about the two most controversial thing in india today. 1.Religion 2.Politics And ironically both are very much (or forcefully) related to one other. What you are doing,i think no one in this field of stand up comedy has ever done or will be doing. You bluntly talk about this and then use sarcasm. I am pretty sure that this video of yours will definitely outrage some of my hindu brothers out there or to people supporting 'a specific political party' and i am also pretty sure that in your other videos to come you might mock muslim people or christians and then they will also start disliking you. But believe me, you are a gem of a man. And to all those people who are offended by this video,have you guys ever heard of Russell Peters,if yes then you must be knowing what i am talking about. If no,then please go watch his video keeping this in mind that he is of an Indian descent. "A few may be your fans but they will be the true ones."
well dude... in my opinion these 2 issues that u talked about are in fact the ones which a country like India desperately needs to take lightly. It is only when we all learn to take jokes on the religion we practice or the political party we support, that we as a country will move forward towards building a truly secular democracy. And what defines stand up comics like him is that not only do they make people laugh but they also give them something to ponder upon. And for the point of popularity, I'm sure he wouldn't mind a few less likes as long as the ones who do are of the intellectual kind. For the ones who get offended there's always the Kapil Sharma show . :)
you are an amaxing person! i hv been on a daniel video marathon! and i luv ur thoughtd! i luv the way you convey them! plz do sgare all his videos! HE DESERVES TO HAVE A TELEVISION SHOW!! MAN I LUV U DANNY
His own television jokes would mean that other people will also have a say in all the material he prepares and since he talks a lot about controversial topics like religion and other things, the people who would be airing his show would go against his script and try to change is to some nonsense comedy show like Kapil's. All I'd say is that he is better without a TV show
this is the type of comedian we need. someone who addresses real issues with satire and humor. plus the guy is bold enough to say what he thinks and have the public laugh about it. his references are on point. and hes not just witty, hes smart. the guys got a long career ahead. loved the video 👍👍
I remember this one time I went through a weird phase and read about ancient methods of execution (yes, ik), and I was scarred when I read about sawing, and being hanged, drawn and quartered. I had nightmares for months. The worst part? I read about worse forms of execution. The ancient times were babaric af. This was an amazing standup btw. I was just introduced to this channel, and I realise I'm 4 years late, but I'm so happy I found this!
I don't know why i never found this before. You are gem, you talk about social issues I sometime forgot to laugh because it meant so deep that I wanted to analyse that idea. But I will pray your success. Just saw all your clips So good
there ARE a few there, although the haves and have nots divide is far too segregated there. (so called elites, power brokers and businessmen cum army generals/ brigadiers controlling and steering everything. sometimes that includes media).
Daniel, there are very few people, whom when you see performing, you wish they never stop. You are one of those few, and plese keep uploading such great videos for us who can't attend your shows. Thank you!
oh my god this was uploaded on the day my exams ended I'm so lucky!!And Danny,that's some talent right there,this video was friggin amazing!!Keep up the good work dude!!
Daniel, I absolutely love your art. It's very contemporary and informed. You make your viewers think about issues which matter. Loved the bit about criminals not having ache din back then unlike now ;) !!! Lots of love !
i mean i dont understand y are other comics not like u dey jss make a few non veg jokes n u make some really sensible n self questioning jokes wich are like really good n da best part da way u represent each thing like really awsome and ua da best stand up comedian out there!
pure genius,man. the way you combine humour with little nuggets of wisdom is just too good. please upload videos more frequently. your acts are devoid of any cheap jokes and thus are a big hit.
+Daniel Fernandes Hey Dan. Like your work. Great on content. Though I would like to see a few more cameras in your shoot which can catch certain moments from different angles and crowd reactions too. I feel it might just get too monotonous with the same camera angle in all your videos over time. Just a suggestion. Would be happy to help you anyway in Bombay. Admiring your work.Thanks!
I love this twist on standup that Daniel gives, its dark humour, its satire and its mostly controversial in his views being made clear. But the way he puts his points forward while still being able to categorise this as standup is great! Hats off to you Daniel
The best thing about your stand ups is you always have an issue you want to talk about and there's the comic element blended in it. Thank you for that. THAT makes your videos worth watching. God bless.
IKR? Why make fuss when a rich guy gets away after running over people in the veil of BeingInHuman? But we should make fuss about another rich guy getting bail even though he was not directly involved in any murder, and was born to a Muslim mother. Of course, most people don't know about their lineage as BeingInHuman is as much hindu or muslim as the other guy.
I discovered you today and tried following you on Facebook. But getting an error message. Checking dates now, I see this video is 3 yrs old. You are brave and brilliant and this set was the perfect mental stimulation. Wish you lots of success wherever you are now. We need more people like you.
He didn't say every Muslim gets screwed. He just said they get screwed awfully disproportionately as compared to Hindus. How come nobody got executed for the '84 anti-sikh riots? Or the Godhra riots? You think those incidents pose as any less of a threat than the Parliament attacks to the integrity and very concept of this country? I guess that's the question he's raising.
Most of this act was about the death penalty...yet as we indians do we focus on one joke that was not related...i.e. The hindu muslim comparison to whites and blacks. Lol get over yourselves... Its a malaise in our society that we have far more opinion than we have information.
+Neosphere Animat not a conspiracy but a blunder, check out their origin, ISIS was nothing, US with many blunders and bad decisions ended up creating it and funding it too indirectly. they first brought instability in middle east by the wars, creating many power vacuums and then supported and funded many rebels to fight against remaining powers who with the funding and weapons ended up in ISIS.
I love your comedy...but this petty attempt of your's of comparing Hindus & Muslims for death penalties is very disgraceful....get your facts right....search for the list of death sentencing in india....I agree people, politicians and even the media in India are biased towards hindus...same is the case for every majority in every country in the world...but you cannot question the judiciary of the country without having substance in your claim....just because you get a mike doesn't mean you can claim any bullshit and influence people....You were just acting as those communal leaders with just a hint of comedy...this was highly uncalled for....please be more responsible and again ...GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!
+Daniel Fernandes so in a stand up video you will accuse hindus of india of rascism check the history no other religion is more persecuted then hinndus. you talk as if yakub memon was an innicent guy picked up from street and hanged . also you mean to say if a hindu gets arrested for a small crime they shd be hanged. and plz talk about atrocities on kashmiri pandits who did that??? oh! wait since they are hindus it is not worth mentioning. also find out how many churches stand on destroyed temples.
+rajeev3983 When did he say yakub is innocent? And when did he mean a hindu arrested for small crime should be hanged . It is said that only people with an above average IQ level understand the standup culture well enough - my friend, now don't start crying that I called you a low IQ guy, you do seem like a whiner out on a hunt for reasons to cry.
And I thought Daniel was a smart man. This is highly biased content. Now I'm not saying that he should not be doing jokes on religion (loved the no point in hanging hindu joke :D ), but when he presents personal opinions without factual basis, it stops being funny. Wont be watching him again. Best of luck for your future.
