Idk about other people but I enjoyed it.Varun Thakur is a genius. He balanced between himself and his Alter Ego(Vicky Malhotra) pretty well Fantastic.But If I had to choose between the two.Varun has the edge over his Alter Ego.Its a great time pass.You might comeback for Varun.

Double Dose of Laughter
smrpagare92722 May 2017
Stand up comedy is gaining much more popularity in India. Amazon Prime has taken this art to another level by introducing Stand Up special Column.
I have been To Neville Shah's What are you laughing at live comedy but I was completely disappointed! When I saw Varun's "Vicky This Side, Varun That Side" I became a fan of this person. Earlier, I used to hate Varun but when I saw his performance for this show, I was stunned! Every single joke worked well. Vicky segment was hilarious but Varun's segment shared some true facts which we all faces in our daily lives.
I hope to see more such amazing comedy by Varun!

Stand up special written and performed by Varun Thakur

Warning: Spoilers
After watching many of Varun Thakur's stand up clips on Youtube, and the SNG's 'The Big Question' episodes, I wasn't expecting this stand up special to be this good. I mean, I considered Varun to be a good comic, the best one in SNG, but his short videos on his Youtube channel don't really capture how good his stage act is. This stand up special has two parts; the first one with Varun as himself, doing conventional comedy, with scripted jokes and stories, which are really funny and have an interesting perspective. The other half is him as Vicky Malhotra, Varun's pseudo character or whatever that's called and it is HILARIOUS. Varun, or Vicky has been able to deliver very sexist, tabooed jokes without pissing anyone off (hopefully), like he has done for a long time on his Snapchat, because everybody knows that Vicky is a douche-bag! So, things which most comedians can't say on stage because of all the backlash they get these days, have been said, and they are funny. The jokes, to be honest, are very well done, and the mannerisms of Vicky-his walk, his laugh, his dancing style and the way he speaks-are hilarious! This is a really entertaining special which will keep you glued till the end.
Vicky Malhotra is very pretty hilarious!

Just finished watching Varun Thakur's performance on Amazon Prime Video...again!
What appeals to you the most is, the humour & fun he brings to fore while playing two very different characters. One, of a young guy, who observes real life situations & creates slapstick humour out of them.
It's, however, his alter ego, 'Vicky Malhotra' who steals the show. Vicky is characterised as a person, who comes from an affluent family and he can afford to form his own perception of reality, irrespective of what the status quo & prevailing norms actually are, in reality. The way he lets this out to the audience, they're bound to be left in splits
CAUTION: Watch his gig, but beware, after the whole performance, you are very likely to have aching cheekbones & tears in your eyes, caused due to extreme laughter!

Most of the jokes in the special are repeated from previous stand up videos , previous Sng podcasts. Varun if your reading this I would request you to Up your game.If we users can make you guys ,so can we lessen your fan base if you take us for granted Amazon prime if u reading this ,you can manage a better stand up comedian . Not recommended if you looking for fresh content
Good this side,Bad That side

It was a really enjoyable special in the first half, but as soon as Varun turned to his alter ego Vicky, it became awful.
I would pay to watch Varun again but will not watch Vicky even for free.
I recommend skipping the second half.

Half cooked show.

The only reason I came to watch is when it showed up on Facebook as a clip and expected it that it would be hilarious the same way the entire show but I was wrong. Looks like he forgot the comedy in the make up room with Varun character. Just waited for second half to be over for a long time so that I can tell myself yes!!!! I have watched something completely since I subscribed to Amazon paying $100.
