7th May 2025 : The NCPA’s latest Off-Stage Presentation features Sapan Verma’s newest comedy special, where personal crises become collective laughter. Watch as he navigates the perfect storm of turning 35, becoming a father, and experimental Amsterdam adventures—all within a transformative year.
With his trademark wit, Sapan unpacks the peculiar challenges of being caught between generations: too young for full adulthood, yet too old to get Gen-Z TikTok dances. His “needless superiority” over younger generations reveals an underlying anxiety about his relevance.
More than just stand-up, this is a cathartic meltdown that cleverly disguises wisdom as comedy. Chronic back pain becomes a metaphor for the weight of adult responsibilities, and Sapan’s vulnerability connects with the audience, transforming shared struggles into collective laughter.
It’s a reality check delivered with sharp wit and surprising tenderness. Sapan reminds us that sometimes, watching someone else’s meltdown is exactly the perspective shift we need to laugh at our own chaotic lives.
