The Jeselnik Loop, Day 2: Anthony Jeselnik In Dilwalon Ki Dilli

Spread the love

With the rain gods showering their love on New Delhi yesterday, Anthony Jeselnik fans had to scramble to get to Siri Fort on time. The DeadAnt phone was ringing nonstop with people worried about missing out on the comedian’s new hour Bones and All. Their excitement was slowly ebbing as the estimated time to arrival on Google Maps kept going up.

This was the high-octane, nerve-wracking situation that set the scene for yesterday’s show of the DeadAnt Loop in Delhi. But all worries were put to rest as people piled in (mostly) just in time to see opening act Kelly Ryan set the mood for the evening. And then it was time…

Jeselnik strolled out on stage in his casual style, the crowd roaring with excitement. He bathed in the love and attention for a minute before diving into the brand new hour he’s been touring with. Speaking in a studied drawl, he paced from one side of the stage to another—like a predator waiting for the right moment to catch their prey off guard—with the practised ease of a veteran. The audience lapped up every punchline as Jeselnik tackled one taboo topic after another like a pro. It was a night to remember for fans, and a masterclass for the comedians. Here are some of our favourite highlights from the day!
