Neel Kolhatkar

When Kolhatkar is punching up (Gina Rinehart, straight white men, straight white men and himself listening to Tupac, straight men emasculated by their bisexual girlfriend's hot ex-girlfriend) he is funny. When he is punching down (racist accents, poor people) he is not funny. But Kolhatkar is not very far into what is still a young career, and given where he started (YouTube) he has come far. Neel Before Me sees Kolhatkar progress away from unguided, irresponsible impersonations towards the introspection, uncomfortable truths and self-exposure that make for great comedy.
