Alok announces their first comedy BIOLOGY! Here’s what they say about it: “ I wrote this show after losing my grandfather and drowning in grief. I couldn't understand why people were wasting their time hating one another, when life is so precious and short. At the end of the day we are all beautifully and biologically mortal. When we remember that we are all eventually headed for death, most of living is the ultimate stand-up comedy. BIOLOGY! is about learning how to hold both: our sorrow and our joy, tragedy and comedy. I weave comedy with poetry throughout to show that it is possible to be both the happiest and the saddest you've ever been at the same time. I toured BIOLOGY! in 36 countries, and now it'll be available for you at home. With how hard everything is right now, l've decided to release it for free exclusively on my website. Please mark your calendars and spread the word. I can't wait to make you laugh. And cry. (Maybe at the same time).”

What a performance! I'm new to ALOK, but I wish I wasn't. This was masterful. Comedy is often a place for social statements, and ALOK took that to another level without sacrificing comedy or sounding preachy. They achieve this by blending poetry in with their standup, and while it originally felt like there'd be a difficulty with the balance or telling between the two, that simply wasn't the case. The balance was fantastic, and it was the right flow between the two aspects. I appreciate ALOK's worldview, which likely helps my rating, but I also feel that they really do achieve what they've set out to do. That's not easy on either of the fronts Biology! brings forward, yet they don't it in both successfully.
Great comedy special. Officially viewable on youtube for free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5E-ZakNfwQ
