Watch: Stand-up comedian faces awkward silence after making joke about Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are yet to win the coveted Indian Premier League (IPL). RCB’s hopes of winning the IPL last season also ended after they were eliminated in the Eliminator. 16 years later, the team is still struggling to live up to the hopes of its supporters, but it seems that the constant failures and heartaches are not enough to shake the unconditional support of the loyal RCB fans. This became even more evident after a stand-up comedian was met with awkward silence over her RCB joke. A video of a stand-up performance at a Bangalore comedy club has now gone viral on the internet.

In the video, the woman makes a joke about RCB supporters and says, “Pata hai Bangalore mei RCB ko andha supports karne ki ek bimari hai, (Bangalore has the disease of blindly supporting RCB). » Unexpectedly, her joke fell flat and she faced a silent backlash from the audience.

As she put on a brave face and delivered a few more jokes about the Bengaluru-based IPL franchise, the reaction was quite similar, with the audience refusing to smile or even applaud, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.

The video instantly went viral, sparking various reactions. While many supported the comedian for his calm and perseverance, some even offered constructive feedback. One user wrote: “I think she’s a beginner, respect her. She tries to make people laugh. Not like other actresses who humiliate their own parents and play jokes on them.”

Another person praised her efforts and commented: “It’s good that she kept going. All actors experience this.”

“Perhaps one of the few professions where feedback is real-time, most can’t handle it. Kudos to her for at least taking the first step,” one comment read.

One social media user suggested that the comedian needs to work on her punchlines. “I think his jokes are good. I just need to work on his delivery and his punchlines. She needs to take a break between lines. She may be a beginner. »

On the other hand, there were few who couldn’t hold back their laughter, as they found the whole situation amusing.

RCB’s IPL 2024 journey came to an end at the Eliminator after being beaten by Rajasthan Royals by four wickets. It was Kolkata Knight Riders who won the IPL trophy last season.
