Utsab Sapkota has always been funny. During school and college, his friends would ask him to entertain them and Sapkota, who grew up watching Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams, would usually comply. His humour, mostly, would be explicit and dark, something his close friends enjoyed. But, with Nepali comedy still stuck in skits and sitcoms, Sapkota knew that his type of comedy would not be accepted.
“Being funny was my thing,” says Sapkota. “But, back when, I was in my late teens and early 20s, Nepal didn’t have a space for the comedy that I did. I could make an explicit joke about anything. And, I knew that it wouldn’t be taken as tongue in cheek. This is why I refrained from doing it.”
