Comedian Samay Raina returns with 'Samay Raina Is Alive And Unfiltered' tour after backlash over 'India's Got Latent.'

"The love is unreal. We have sold 40,000 tickets in an hour for the tour. – Samay Raina"

Mumbai, July 31

Comedian Samay Raina is all set to return to the live stage with a new stand-up tour titled 'Samay Raina Is Alive And Unfiltered.' This marks his first India tour after facing backlash over his YouTube show 'India's Got Latent.'

The comedian made the announcement on Instagram, revealing that the tour will begin on August 15 in Bengaluru, where he will perform until August 17. He will then travel to Hyderabad on August 23 and 24, Mumbai on August 30, and Kolkata on September 6 and 7. His next stops include Chennai on September 19 and 20 and Pune from September 26 to 28.

The response from fans was huge, with Raina later posting, "The love is unreal. We have sold 40,000 tickets in an hour for the tour. That's a record. Thank you so much for the love, we will bring the house down."

His India tour comes shortly after Samay completed his international tour that began in Koln on June 5 and ended in Sydney on July 20, covering Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

Earlier this year, Samay, along with Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Ranveer Allahbadia, was named in an FIR for allegedly promoting obscene content on their show India's Got Latent. A viral clip featuring a joke from Ranveer sparked widespread criticism, leading to the controversy.

The controversy was so unnecessary yaar. Comedy is supposed to push boundaries. Good to see audiences supporting him despite the drama. 40k tickets in an hour is insane!

While I enjoy Samay's content, I hope this tour has better quality control than that YouTube show. Some jokes on IGL were genuinely problematic and not just "edgy comedy".

Bengaluru show on Independence Day weekend? Perfect timing! My whole friend group is going. Samay's humor hits different when you've grown up watching him evolve from chess streams to this 🥹

The international tour must have given him so much material! Can't wait to see what new perspectives he brings to Indian audiences after performing abroad.

Hope he comes to smaller cities too next time. Not everyone can travel to metros for shows. Indian comedy scene needs to expand beyond the usual 6-7 cities!
