Comedy is all about misdirection. You paint a picture, build the audience’s expectations and then bam! The punchline sucker-punches you from left field. In Anthony Jeselnik’s case, the picture he paints is reminiscent of Francisco Goya’s bleakest, most disturbing work, topped off with a uniquely Jeselnik-ian sociopathic twist. In a world where people are increasingly sensitive about what you can and cannot joke about, Jeselnik is the poster boy for “pushing the limits.”
In the two decades that the comedian has been active, he’s proven himself to be a master of the comedic dark arts, making his mark on iconic roasts (Charlie Sheen and Donald Trump), writing for various talk shows (The Jeselnik Offensive, Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon), and releasing numerous critically acclaimed specials. Dead babies, abortion, aging parents. Nothing is off the table for Jeselnik. His special knack for crafting humour out of the most horrible thoughts—the sort that most of us are too afraid to verbalise—has earned him the title of Prince of Dark Comedy.
If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, you’re in luck! The comedian is set to hit up Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru with his brand new hour Bones And All from 8-10 August, for the second edition of the DeadAnt Loop, produced by DeadAnt Live. We’re so excited that we’ve curated a collection of his most jaw-dropping jokes and his most insightful interviews, offering a glimpse into his gloriously twisted mind. Brace for shock, horror and a lot of LOLs.
