Hey fellow hoomans! The
weekend has been crazy busy. I sat in front of my laptop twice to pen down this
piece but somehow couldn't. Now I am literally sitting at a corner of my room
while my room is occupied with family members. But I will, this time I will!
So people who have been
following me on social media and close friends who listen to my rants on daily
basis are aware of how much i wanted to attend Jeremy McLellan's performance at Alhamra. I am a huge fan
and love his sense of humor from the days he had pretty less followers. Over
the time, he has become one of the best at what he does which is comedy. One
fine day he updated his Facebook of his plan of visiting Pakistan and oh my did
the country go crazy! The tickets sold out like "jalibi" does in
monsoon. Our nation is incredible when it comes to welcoming foreign artists
and it was communicated so well during this time.
Anyhoo, those who have
absolutely no clue what this is about, let me break down this for you!
Who is Jeremy?
Jeremy McLellan (McLellan
with a single c as he is really conscious about this :P)is an American comedian
who hails from Charleston, South Carolina. His work specifically focus on
issues like gender, immigration, islamophobia, politics and disabilities
which basically make him sound so different than the rest of the monotonous American
comedians.
Why Pakistan?
Jeremy has the biggest
Pakistani fan following and there are particular reasons for that:
- He loves Biryani. We
do too. Biryani apparently acted as the strongest thread connecting the nation
with Jeremy.
-Jeremy detests Islamophobia and is pretty vocal about it.
- He knows our nation so
well that you might get into speculation of his identity as American. His
comedy actually makes him one of us.
-He is anti-trump. Instant tick, yeah?!
The show!
The show was AMAZEBALLS!
An American guy in sherwani showcased incredible wit as was expected of him.
His genius way of storytelling can easily take your mind off from literally
anything in the world and all you want to do is listen to him. The hall was
roaring with laughter and the love for the guy reciprocated so well that day.
Not a single f**k which by the way is a great achievement for an American. A
complete family show with not a single second of feeling bored. Great night!
I really, really and really hope
that Jeremy makes more visits to Pakistan and tell people back home that how beautiful
my country is (which I am sure he will).
If that made you want to look up for
him, follow Jeremy on Facebook and show some love.
Bye for now! Here's wishing you a great Monday!
