1:34 all right srcc what's up okay let me first start by saying uh I'm absolutely thrilled to be here uh and I'm here for two reasons firstly the guys at Joe talks this is the second time they've called me uh I know we have come here to supposedly inspire you guys but here's a bunch of young guys who get together and for no money they organize these talks getting people from all all over the country from all over the world to come and speak to guys like you huge round of applause for them their website is Jo talk.org check them out hashtag them in whatever you're posting uh and the second reason the second reason I'm here is I will toldo that this is a charity event uh
2:20 apparently we're trying to raise money so we can buy some new and different t-shirts for the members of an Actis from what I hear these guys don't have any new t-shirts to wear at all and I also want to say I'm really pleased uh that I was introduced by the lovely lady here and not PC Jen because I do not because I do not want to be introduced as the chief minister of India also I've got to say as a stand-up comedian it's it's a little bit strange
3:05 to be called to an event like this where essentially my remit is not to do standup comedy but to try and inspire you uh it's a little bit different it's a bit like a day scholar standing for elections as I as a part of the Hostile panel now I just want to tell you I have no pre-planned pep talk uh I don't have any slides I don't have any presentations so basically what we're going to do is uh where are the guys with the microphones we have some guys with microphones walking around we're only going to do questions and answers you guys ask me whatever questions you want I'll give
3:52 you some answers uh and when we're done we're done so basically the theme of my talk is # I ask you to ask ask and uh for the people who are going to ask questions raise your hands somebody will show you a microphone and I just want to tell you I am not in a street play in the in the dramatic Society so please don't call call me sir all right just call me just call me CJ or Papa CJ right
4:38 where are the people with the microphone you where are the guys who have you have the microphones just come in the front uh also before I start I just want to ask the girls at srcc how's my hair looking is it good you know what I'm really glad you guys cheered because when I walked in my hair was actually tied but then I met a guy outside called abir and he said you should really open your hair you look fantastic all right what are the questions so tell us your name and then shoot your question hi ITA first I'm asking a question oh my God yeah no pressure huh yeah no pressure so just to get things rolling
5:24 why do you uh have Papa in front of your name like why do you want every girl to think of you as your daddy or something you know it's quite interesting when some people ask you a question and then answer it themselves actually the thing is I started doing standup in the UK uh in London and I think I can tell you why it works in hindsight um it's easy to easy it's easy to remember it's a brand it's memorable but subconsciously I think when I started doing standup in the UK there was a lot of racism as well and people looked at Indians in a certain way so in my head I wanted to tell them
6:13 [Applause] subconsciously so that's why and since this was your first question here's a lollipop for you can somebody pass this down to her this is is alpen libe getting full value of their sponsorship it's the only company on the planet who can give their product to their customers and say l choose L all right who's next I would like to ask you what inspired you to become a comedian after doing MBA um a couple of things so there's a
7:01 positive side and there's a negative side uh the negative side is my job sucked right uh I did not enjoy being a Management Consultant in London it was boring as hell now what happens is as Indians we have this whole mentality of your whole family says bet settle right nobody knows what settled actually means right basically you go to school go to college get a job get married have two children then you're settled right we don't have this concept of Follow Your Heart Right we don't have this thing of a gap year uh so what I did was after I took a loan to do my MBA I took four years to pay that off and once I paid that off as far as I was concerned I was free I was I was on my own time so I took a year off and in that year off I
7:47 did lots of different things I trecked up to Everest Base Camp I set up some schools for underprivileged kids I learned to fly paragliders I I went played poker in Vegas I went backpacking in Kerala in that year I went to Edinburgh for The Fringe Festival and I saw somebody doing stand-up comedy for the first time and I just looked at this guy I said here's a guy on stage having a drink talking rubbish and that's what he does for a job I was like wow I want to do that so 3 months later I chucked up my job I got on stage for the first time uh in my first 10 months I did 250 shows all over the UK and I never looked back so that's how it started u i was
8:33 inspired by people I saw doing it and I think the upside for me was I actually didn't know how difficult it was to do standup comedy today India is probably the easiest place on the planet to to start doing standup because you know you do three shows somebody takes your photo sticks it in the paper you think boss I'm a hero right when I started stand up in in London if you wanted to get a 5 minute spot at a Comedy Club you had to wait 6 months because there were 500 other comedians who wanted that spot so that's how you start when I started doing standup in those first 250 shows in 10 months I would wake up every single day at 10:30 11 I would have one meal at 2:00 which I would cook myself I would get in the car with another comedian to go to some City I would
9:19 drive 3 4 hours I wouldn't eat because I was I was nervous I would do 10 minutes at at most 10 minutes I would drive back be dropped off somewhere in the outskirts of London at 2:00 in the morning I would pay the driver my share of petrol I had no money of my own anyway I wasn't getting paid and then I would have to change three different buses to get home at 4:00 in the morning sometimes standing out for 45 minutes in the cold at the end of that year I had no money I had no friends I had no relationships I had no life but every single comedy promoter in the country knew my name and that's where it started from all right who's next who is some gangster or what in college huh he raised his hand everyone
10:10 like who's the guy one second before you ask the question CB all India rank one cbsc topper this better be an intelligent question okay by the way way I don't know if you know but I was chatting with him earlier and sarak told me 99.6% right he told me if he didn't get into srcc he was going to castrate himself apparently then he would meet the criteria for 100% cut off go on saruk yeah you ask me a question then I'll ask you a question for the first time in my life
10:56 I'm worried about about getting a question to me so it's okay now yeah my question I don't know would be intelligent or not but I just like to say whenever I hear the word stand up comedy I wonder where the term standup comes from because standup has a very vulgar interpretation for me so I don't know where does stand up come [Applause] from so here is some advice for you Mr 99.6% not all the answers are found in books you should get out more often I do I
11:42 do oh by the way when do you plan on getting on Facebook not yet all right who's next mon take good hi just one one second pause before your question what do what do you teach eom e-commerce e-commerce e-commerce you spend a lot of time online s in the 99.6% they did not teach him how to open a Facebook account give her a microphone she's trying to say something even I am not
12:28 not Facebook even you're not on Facebook and I'm also from faridabad and Sak is also from faridabad Sak I think you're taking my place for the coffee after this maybe after that Monica maam will feel a little more settled do we see you uh do something like Kap Sharma on TV or something like that apart from standup comedy with us okay so let me rephrase and ask ask you a question do you think they would allow somebody like me on TV I mean I don't even think they should allow him with his dirty vulgar
13:14 mind so let let me give you a serious answer to that question that it's actually a very good question let me give you a serious answer to that question I think what happens a lot is often you know you have to know what it is that works for you for me if you could take one word away from my entire session that word would be passion you have to figure out what it is that you are passionate about often we have peer pressure you know your own families will say look at what he's doing Kapil Sharma he charges 50 lakhs for a show he's on TV all over the place you should do that for me that doesn't fly because eventually if you're not passionate about what you're doing you will not be the best in the world at it and you will get tired and you will get bored no matter what success you have for me my passion is live standup
14:00 comedy right I don't want to be in front of a TV camera giving you lines that I've prepared in advance I want to be able to have this interaction to be able to talk to sarak to be able to throw a lollipop somewhere to be able to get on stage and make jokes about the sponsor can I do that on TV no is that what I want to do no so you want to see me I'll be right here in front of you my question use you mentioned about cases of racism back in the UK yeah so uh how did you really go around it how difficult was it or just adding Papa to your name did all the tricks no not at all uh because what happens there you would perform in places where they haven't seen an Indian before and the only Indian they've seen is the guy in the corner shop who they can make fun of
14:48 right when you get up there when I when I perform abroad uh I am very careful to project India in a positive light because I'm very proud of being Indian that is what I want to talk about right so it's it's like that whole thing about G B I have no problem amongst us talking about internal issues but outside I want to put up represent a certain face of India because they've seen one face I want to show them another what I do is at a gig when I have a bunch of racist guys who are heckling me I will I will let them Heckle as much as they want I will find the biggest toughest guy and I will take him down because once you do that the rest of the gang knows you know what this is not a guy we can mess with and somehow and I hope I hope by doing that
15:37 the next time this guy's walking down the road and he thinks he sees an Indian guy and he thinks about coming up with some sarcastic comment he thinks twice before doing that because there was another Indian guy who in front of his friends put him down so really needs something that's you know you always have to be cheerful you always have to be happy when you're on stage right so in your personal life as well there must be times when you know you're not feeling that cheerful or something but for example something bad happened in the morning in the evening you have a show yeah how do you you know get it snap it like that I mean how do you get up on stage be happy and make everyone else believe that yeah I'm really happy and love what I'm doing that's the difference between an amateur comedian and a professional comedian when I get up on stage there are thousand people in this room who have
16:23 paid money who have showed up here for me to be positive and make them laugh so it doesn't matter how I feel my respon responsibility is towards the people in that room it's like a Doctor Who's gone for an operation he could have a bad day but he's saving a life there if his day affects him saving that life he should not be a doctor the same thing with stand-up comedy and I think that's where the passion comes in I love my audiences I love doing stand-up comedy no matter how bad a day I'm having being here in front of you makes my day better love you too thank you you can love me too but I'm still having coffee with Monica after this but if you're asking about bad gigs
17:08 all Comics have bad gigs uh but and okay so here's your inspirational lesson for it uh with stand-up comedy we learn nothing from a good show I have a good gig I walk out here thinking wow man I rock right but the problem is when I have a bad gig like in our in in our profession we get feedback every 15 seconds if you're not laughing every 15 seconds I'm not doing my job well so either I have to adapt and change instantly on the spot and if I don't then when I go back home because there is nothing more terrifying than standing in front of you guys trying to make you laugh and getting 5 minutes of silence you really want to dig a hole and bury yourself in there so if that happens on my way back home I have to think to myself if I'm ever again in the same country in front of the same audience
17:54 with a similar profile what can I do differently to make so to make sure I don't go through that again that is what makes you grow so for standup comedy uh failure is the only root to success if you're not failing you're not succeeding so and I I would I would say the same thing with all your professions whatever it is you decide to do uh push your boundaries the only way to know where the line is is to cross it and if the second you get scared of failure you will never succeed you will never be the best in the world so just push yourself as far as you can go and once you get there push yourself just a little bit more my question is when you will become older will you choose history because just keep the mic closer and and speak louder when you will become old will you change your
18:40 name from Papa to [Applause] Grandpa you see now I'm thinking of a standup comedy response to put you down but that would be rude um that depends what what mama has to say cuz Frankly Speaking as a single guy when I meet a chick it's nice to say oh Mama but oh Grandmama doesn't quite fly Papa CJ uh there's a line called that Papa CJ had a show with Russell Peters yes so uh when we got a heard that Russell Peters want to have show with Papa CJ his
19:27 Bob uh I don't think I would say that uh because I respect him a lot I will tell you something about Russell Peters his comedi as side he is one of the nicest most large-hearted guys that I know and I think that is a huge part of his success because today 90% of people can do the job in most places people will work with you because they want to work with you uh Russell fantastic guy you sit with him backstage it's like it's like us having a chat here he he doesn't pretend to be some Superstar uh that Showtime special that we taped in Amsterdam there were 24 comedians from all over the world Russell Peters was hosting it um of those 24 comedians Russell got to pick two comedians from all over the world I was one of the guys he picked to come I was the only comic
20:12 in Asia so what I will say this uh I would not stand here and call myself the bar of Russell Peters give him the respect he deserves he has worked for 23 years to become a global Superstar so I have a lot of respect for him I won't go there I want to ask that uh is there any person who is your inspiration uh yes there are two or three people uh one Russell for being a really nice guy uh second Sachin Tendulkar what is fantastic about him yeah uh his uh his greatest attributes for me are two one is his passion for the game if you look at him even till the day he retired he was constantly trying to improve and get better that is Passion he's not focused about
20:58 everything else uh and secondly the humility I think as a country that's why we loved him so much because he's a humble human being so it's suchin it's Russell Peters as comedians I admire if you haven't seen a guy called George Carlin you must see him absolute genius uh Chris Rock for his stage presence and his Persona and there's a lot of comics who have who are not as famous who have worked with were really nice guys who do good work uh for me that means a lot more than being somebody famous who who isn't nice to people or does mediocre work uh there's a comedian called Adam Hills have a look at him one of the nicest guys I know the only comic in the world I know where you walk out of his show and you feel warm and fuzzy and good about yourself he's fantastic there's a guy called Paul provenza in
21:43 the US he he organizes this show called The set list where Comics get on Robin Williams did that uh did that show you Comics get on they don't have a list of what they're going to perform about a random word comes on in the screen at the back and you have to do stand up about that these are people who go out there and actually promote the art form they promote comedians there's a guy called Jonathan Aton who works out of Singapore in Malaysia he's 52 years old maybe slightly older he's been doing comedy for over 20 years but he's a comedian comedians he encourages young guys he helps them grow uh for me I I respect people like that I want to ask you you follow your passion as we all know and it's very different as compared to other professions did your family supported you in every uh step my family
22:28 gave give me all the support I I will give them full credit not a single time did they ever say don't do that go back to your job do something else many years later now they tell me listen we were of course worried we thought you know you'll do it for 6 months it's a Fed it'll go away but even though they felt that not once did they ever tell me CJ don't do that from their point of view it was go for it but I I I will just add to that I want to add one thing to that you know it's very easy for guys to get up here people like me and say you know follow your heart Follow Your Passion uh it's very important to realize how the world works as well you got to feed your soul but you have to feed your stomach as well so but the important difference to keep in mind I went broke a year and a
23:13 half into stand up I was completely broke I took up a job in recruitment I got into Executive coaching but mentally in my head I was doing standup comedy and I was doing the job on the side often what happens is people say yes yes do the job you can do this on the side keep in mind your passion is what is in the center everything else is on the side and that is what will fuel your passion solid serious and all it's become awesome huh hi I'm Mi and I an an actress and my question is let's see that t-shirt are yours yeah it's not an actress but I'll be it one oh my God you're going to get fired okay so my question is have you ever had a
23:59 heartbreak of course I have just tell us about it what do you mean to do it a heartbreak isn't easy but I think U so love is a strange thing and it's a magical thing I think what's really important is uh is probably the best thing in the world uh however everyone gets their heartbroken the only thing I would say is I don't carry baggage right it's done it's done but what's fantastic is even after it was over I can remember I don't remember the bad times I just remember the good times and it reminds me of the immense potential of love and what it is capable of making you feeling so I would say if you do have a heartbreak happens man Let It Go and move ahead be free to love
24:47 again all right back to you hi I'm M uh and I would like to ask you if you could know the answer to anyone question apart from what is the meaning of life what would you like to know I don't want to know answers to any questions I'd rather find them out over life I don't want the answers to come like what's the fun of that what's the point of living if somebody says this is the answers it's like your parents telling you has that ever stopped you no you want to go find out for yourself go find out yeah don't for answer like that hello sir what's the no no no no no no hell CJ what's the nicest thing that one has said about your comedy the nicest thing I've had two or three things nice
25:34 things that people have said to me which have meant a lot to me um I was in I did a show in Kolkata I had an 86 year-old woman who came to me after the show and she said thank you so much beta I haven't laughed so much in 30 years uh that was one of the nicest things somebody said to me the other thing that happened was I did a show in Friends Club in Delhi and this girl came to me and she said if you don't mind can I tell you something uh so I said yes she said you are like us only you know and I don't think she realized what a big compliment that was because stand-up comedians we are not Superstars we are like you only right and it's very important for us to be able to stay on the ground and stay connected so that we can be like you and
26:19 you can appreciate us it's it's why I come here I talk to people in the college I find out about the things that matter to you and I start by talking about that and the third thing that really meant a lot to me I was doing a show in a hospital in Singapore and there was this guy whose son had been in coma for 25 days he was paralyzed waist downwards he didn't know if his son would wake up ever again but for the 45 minutes that he was with me he laughed and you could see the tears in his eyes and the smile on his face and I just stood there thinking this is why I do stand up comedy CJ hi I'm daa dsha so uh this is an inspirational one um we say that you are a standup comedian so I'm not going to call you something as superficial as humorous or sarcastic I I noticed that
27:07 you have such such confidence and uh uh passion in your personality so part one what were you always like this and uh part two can you just tell us what it takes to develop a personality like that that's all um okay so personality is not something you can buy in the shop clearly um I'll give you the comedy answer to start with basically confidence is like an orgasm you can fake it nobody knows right uh I think a lot of it comes from was I confident as a kid uh not necessarily I was I was scared of debating I I couldn't debate I used to act in school plays and stuff like that I think a lot
27:52 of confidence comes from believing in your stuff and knowing what you do I mean today I don't have a presentation why do I not have a presentation because I do stand-up comedy anything you ask I should be able to answer I I don't like watching presentations where there are 20 different slides and people are just saying you know this no you should know this so you can talk about it so I think whatever it is that you do if you are passionate about it if you love it you will learn more about it you will grow and when somebody talks to you about that you will be able to talk about it uh meet people talk to them you will learn so much just by interacting with people people you will learn a lot more from people you meet and talk to than anything you can learn in college or any other education program and over the course of time it'll just happen so you
28:39 want confidence just talk to people as many as you can about any subject and you'll become a lot more confident by listening more and talking less because you'll learn and you'll grow hey CJ I'm Vin here and I have two questions to you go uh the first is how you know so much about our College [Applause] because sometimes knowledge requires more than just a high percentage and because I do exactly what I was telling her I talk to people and I listen and and also like what I was talking about earlier when she said the question about if you're having a bad
29:25 day I am committed to my audience right I want to come here and talk about things that matter to you why am I not giving you a presentation with some lines or some Gyan I want to talk about and answer the questions that mean something to you so it is my commitment to you that makes me talk to people and find out things about you that's why I know so much about your college your second question second question life that always keeps you running an inspirational quote that always keeps me running I'm a comedian dude nothing makes me run right a jog would be hard uh there's a few different quotes uh one of them that I like is uh it says ideas are funny things they don't work unless you do right everyone's got this fantastic idea billion dollar idea how
30:11 many billionaires are there so you may have a fantastic idea but if you don't move your ass it's not going anywhere oh and there's another one that I really like uh uh which is uh don't let the world change your smile let your smile change the world hi CJ this is dxa I want to ask you in in your life there must be times when you when you were you must be feeling very low you must be thinking that you can't do this uh are there have been there such times in your life and what inspired you at that time uh yes everyone has times in their lives when they feel low uh but I have been brought up to never think that I can't do this um so it's just about um
31:00 there's another very nice quote that I read which says you are the average of The Five People You surround yourself with the most surround yourself with happy positive good people and they will make sure they get you out of that and move you towards what you want and the other thing is there's this U there's often people who say oh you know I wanted to do this but I couldn't make it happen I do not believe in that statement I believe it's all about passion if it did not happen for you you did not want it bad enough cuz somebody who wants it bad enough will make it happen right yeah in my experience these are these are these are people who don't say this is why it didn't happen they think about how we can make it happen I believe in the law I do not believe in rules right nobody got I mean maybe
31:47 people got somewhere by following rules doesn't work for me hello CJ my name is OD and you know on this moment I'd like to say a quote which has actually inspired me and I think it suits the moment and it goes like imperfection is beauty Madness is genius it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring now I have a question for you I noticed that accent is it the Jah effect no I don't know man just happened to me all the time I speak in English okay now I like to question something you know this happened to me you know you're a standup comedian and you perform with like 200,000 people and has this any any time happened to you that you speak something and people didn't really get you sarcasm what should he do on that point carry on say something else so Mike it must be awkward man you just spoke a joke and everybody's like stting at you
32:34 you mean it was like when you just said your court before this and nobody exactly exactly I I you know what well done forgetting the sarcasm on that one I do what you did you said something which I'm sorry I'm being a little bit rude here uh was very intelligent and aimed to impress uh ordinarily you would expect a reaction on that you didn't get that what would what did you do I was obviously like looking as and you know expecting some reaction exactly so I do what you did I just move on all right I'd like to come up and you know shake hand with you can I uh no all right I'm kidding dude we'll hang out afterwards let's get this session done and I'll shake your hands after going to
33:19 see you after that yeah but bring some hand sanitizer right yeah my question is what is the weirdest fan movement you've ever had what is the weirdest fan moment I've ever had there was a girl in the US called Kate uh who saw me on Last Comic Standing and she sent me a letter saying can you please uh tell me something negative or bad about you because over the last 3 months I have started having highly erotic dreams about you on a regular fashion she said I am 3 months pregnant and I want these dreams to go before my baby is born so that was probably the strangest thing but she sent me an email her child was born U send me photos of the child and I think she does not have those erotic dreams anymore but clearly in her
34:05 head she had saruk agarwal's definition of stand-up comedy uh what is the happiest moment of your life the happiest moment of my life uh being a part of my family being a part of this country and doing standup comedy every day is happy for me for belonging in those three places I have always been passionate about India I've always been passionate about education and I love children so when I graduated from Oxford I got together with another Oxford alumnus and we said we want to start doing something so we contacted a small organization called Asha they have 15 people it's the assoc Association of Social and Health advancement and we have two child
34:52 Education Centers now three actually on the Indo Bangladesh border about 8 hours from Kara and we essentially house kids there we get them out of child labor we get them up to speed and then we put them back in the formal schooling system but in addition to that we do women in child health micr Finance uh I'm just the guy who talks about it here in front of you the guys who do the real good work are on the ground um so from our point of view it's just it's that old story about there's a child walking on on the beach and he keeps throwing fish back and his father says you know you can't save all the fish in the ocean he said yeah but I can save these ones so from my point of view I'm doing what I believe in for a country I'm passionate about as simple as that can you can you what do you think about the future of Indian comedi and the comedians what do I think about the
35:38 future of Indian comedians I think it's fantastic uh you have and the comedy part of it like what do you see as as the future of Indian Comedy like the future at a global level what do I see as the future of Indian comedy at a global level I think the future is extremely bright we have some fantastic comedians all over the country you'll see four of them performing here tomorrow uh and they work hard they're passionate about what they do and we're going to take over the world hello sujit this is Ash uh I aspire to be a traveler and since you have traveled a lot yeah so what places on Earth have all inspired you apart from India what places have inspired me uh apart from India you know I'm not so much passionate about the places as I am about the people so when I go to a place I want to talk to the local people I want to go eat where they eat I want to do the things that they do that's what exactly I want to know everywhere man
36:25 people are different all over the world just go everywhere expands your horizons go to the go to the east go to America go to Europe it's just go man don't think so much pick a place go and start well I haven't been everywhere but everywhere is on my list don't start with Thailand Okay okay no it's a fantastic country people will give you a different sales PCH yeah pay attention because he caught me before and said I have to ask you a question so I should ask inside he said I won't get a chance I promised him so this better be good myself anel and I'm from n last time I saw you n and there was a lady comedian I don't remember her name uh maybe Shan CH so maybe I'm wrong so what is your question I'm pretty sure shauan was a man yes I don't remember your question the lady said that she can
37:10 crack a joke about everything yeah yeah are you sure that you can you can also do the same job and second thing uh you you said that you can't Define successful what is successful or what is success but can you define failure or the every time whether whether you feel your successful success very complicated question guys are getting pissed off right success failure same thing boss two sides of the coin forget about success forget about failure remember passion follow your heart do what you love the rest right hi CJ this Isa and what's the best thing that a girl has ever told you because I wanted to say that you're really really very cute and you're the cutest guy I've ever seen I see Monica that's how you
