After two super hit stand up shows, AppurView - Laugh with an Engineer and RelationShip or RelationShit, comedian Appurv Gupta has come up with the second edition of his first solo show, titled Laugh with an Engineer 2.0. We catch up with him ahead of the show.

Tell us about your show, Laugh with an Engineer 2.0.

Laugh with an Engineer is a show written and performed by an engineer, from the point of view of an engineer. In the show, I talk about everything I have experienced in my life, which looks normal to everyone but looks funny when you see from my point of view. I wrote the show three years ago. Now I am giving a second installment of that show to my audience.

How did you come up with the material for the show?

All real life experiences. In past two years I've had many new experiences such as hopping flights, staying in five star hotels, the importance of enjoying my morning tea, talking to my mom and many other topics. Most of the material I am sharing in this show is personal.

How has your journey from engineering to comedy been?

It’s been mesmerising. I’ve come from doing five minute sets in front of 15 people to doing an hour and a half with an audience of 7,000 people. And I have enjoyed every bit of this journey.

Tell us more about your web series?

Mudde Ki Baat is all about sharing my perspective on one topic in each episode for my online fans. I have covered topics such as start ups in India, cricket, Bollywood and Chetan Bhagat. It has been very well-received, that's very encouraging.

What are your future plans?

I always try to entertain my audience with something new. Right now I am focusing on some new material for stand up and a few new ideas for the series.
