Audio Description
Following his grandiose arena tour, aptly titled “Hustle,” Romesh Ranganathan has decided to take a little trip around the globe. His itinerary includes India, the USA, South Korea, and Canada. Why? To interrogate his own material and, quite frankly, stall the inevitable retirement we all dread. Think of it as a cultural road trip for a comedian with a penchant for existential crises.
In this eye-opening mission, Romesh engages in a deep exploration of our hustle-obsessed modern existence. Because nothing says “making it big” like being perpetually exhausted and fueled by caffeine and self-doubt, right? His journey isn’t just about comedy; it’s about the relentless chase for success, a chase that often leads to parking lot breakdowns and ambivalent naps.
You see, this isn’t just another stand-up special. It’s Romesh’s way of unraveling life’s messy threads, one pun at a time. Picture him, crisscrossing continents, trying to decipher if the secret to happiness lies in the bustling streets of Seoul or in the coffee shops of Toronto. Spoiler alert: it’s probably in the bottom of a takeout container labeled “very spicy.”
While he gallivants around the globe, Romesh delves into topics that tickle the funny bone while simultaneously eliciting eye rolls from the audience. “More hustle! Less sleep!”—a mantra embraced by those who find joy in the irony of being too busy to actually enjoy life. Who knew that selfies at ancient temples came with a side of existential dread?

Whether you’re lounging on your couch or sprinting toward financial security like it’s a marathon, Romesh’s reflections on the hustle of modern life are bound to resonate. Maybe you’ll reconsider that second slice of cake, or at least rationalize it through the lens of “hustle fuel.” Just remember, if you can’t laugh at life’s absurdities, then what’s the point?
