He is to have told The Quint, “Every stand-up comedian who has worked on television knows that the jokes said by an actor on stage are not his. On The Kapil Sharma Show we have a team of 7-8 writers. We all sit together mulling over ideas, throwing jokes at one another, while one person collects and stores all our ideas on a laptop. It was during one such jamming session that someone came up with a joke about how all fast bowlers are younger siblings because their elder brothers never allow them to bat. I loved the joke and we decided to to use it on the show. How was I to know that someone had cracked that joke already?” Now comedian Abijit Ganguly has done what no one else can do. He has expertly turned the source of his misery, the whole incident of plagiarism, and turned it into a stand-up routine. He talks about how he has become the target of Kapil Sharma fans on Twitter. At one point, he recalls the fans asking him, “Who do you even think watches your show?” Ganguly says, “I don’t know. The writers of The Kapil Sharma Show?” In the end he says, “My joke got stolen, I put out a post. And I’m getting all the hate & publicity accusations. Same old victim blaming story. For the first time in my life, I know what it feels like to be a girl.” Watch the stand-up routine here:
