Stand-up comedian Samay Raina gave his first-ever performance in Canada after the India’s Got Latent controversy. During his performance, Samay joked about the controversy and humourously thanked the audience for “paying” his legal fees through ticket purchases.
During his performance at Edmonton, Samay jokingly referenced the controversy. A fan, Shubham Dutt, who was at the show, took to his Facebook to share his experience. Dutt wrote, “For the first time, I saw a 25-year-old guy, weighed down by immense mental pressure, dark circles under his eyes, a sunken face, and unkempt hair, walk onto the stage in a dust-covered black hoodie. His first words into the mic? ‘Thanks for paying my lawyer’s fees.”
He added, “For the first time, I saw about seven hundred so-called ‘degenerate’ generation of today cheering for him, while he stood there, tears in his eyes, just before starting his set.”
