It\u2019s this escapist and peculiar thought that is the starting point of actor-writer-comedian <\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/aziz-ansari-sexual-misconduct-consent-master-of-none\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aziz Ansari<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s comeback stand-up tour, \u201cRoad to Nowhere\u201d. There\u2019s an especially striking bit in the show\u2019s final minutes when Ansari talks about being mistaken for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/hasan-minhaj-patriot-act-indian-elections-modi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hasan Minhaj<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by a random fan. The arc of that joke \u2013 a parody of celebrity negotiations with starstruck fans \u2013 is fairly familiar and forgettable. But Ansari mines tragicomedy in a tale of mistaken identities with a curious <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance: his personal shame. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It starts off with the comedian animatedly recollecting how the fan overcompensated for confusing him with another brown comedian by rattling off his claims to fame: \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parks and Recreation?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMaster of None<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the man prods, and then almost without warning, \u201cSexual misconduct..?\u201d At that point, Ansari, reduced to a mixture of embarrassment and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/the-nursery-of-cursery-swearing-cursing-fuck\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">humiliation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, suddenly embraces the comfort of the mistaken identity he was mocking seconds ago, and goes, \u201cNo No No. That wasn\u2019t me. That was Hasan.\u201d <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ansari\u2019s playful delivery unpacks the double-standards of his default response \u2013 wanting to distance a serious accusation of personal misconduct with his public reputation. When he performed the joke in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/i-love-signs-in-mumbai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mumbai<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this weekend, the 1000-strong crowd comprising a fascinating hybrid of Bollywood royalty, ardent fans, and unsurprisingly, a few men outed over the last year, unanimously erupted in laughter. I did too, while simultaneously wondering, \u201cIs <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> really allowed to crack that joke?\u201d <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem wasn\u2019t that in an hyper-outraged world that has come to fetishise political correctness, Ansari\u2019s punchline was bereft of any. Instead, it was that Ansari \u2013 the man who was accused of pressurising his date to have sex \u2013 was the one uttering it; he was the difference between that joke being labelled as harmless or harmful. Yet even then, it also felt like the evening\u2019s most definitive moment, one that spiritedly encapsulated \u2013 and acknowledged \u2013 the predominant concerns of a post-<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/heres-how-not-to-respond-to-metoo-questions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Me Too<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> world: Are you trivialising the transgressions of outed men if you\u2019re willing to renegotiate with their art? More specifically, does forgiving Aziz Ansari mean that we\u2019re mandated to forgive all sexual offenders? And most importantly, do we get to decide which jokes outed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/unfunny-person-comedy-standup-specials\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comedians<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can crack?<\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">Ansari\u2019s playful delivery unpacks the double-standards of his default response \u2013 wanting to distance a serious accusation of personal misconduct with his public reputation.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are questions that Ansari\u2019s sly, cynical, and contemplative new set \u2013 one of the first glimpses of a society rethinking the cancel culture and re-negotiating with tainted artists \u2013 intends for its audience to ask themselves. Throughout the two hours that the comedian is on stage, he frequently uses the audience as guinea pigs, needling them into confronting the evolving parameters of cultural <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/sabrina-lal-death-penalty-kathua-unnao-manu-sharma\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">forgiveness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Much of his set \u2013 largely riffed on the allegations against R Kelly, Michael Jackson, universal shittiness of people, and the intolerance of extreme wokeness \u2013 is geared toward underlining that forgiveness might be optional but it is also subjective. Shouldn\u2019t everyone then, be able to make up their own minds about how they feel about a Aziz Ansari or Quentin Tarantino? And can they also have the luxury of arriving at two different conclusions for a similar violation? <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ansari\u2019s set is in essence, a tightly contained, often hilarious and sometimes defensive exploration of the grey areas that our cancel culture often misses. By basing his new material as an apparent response to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/cristiano-ronaldo-rape-allegations-me-too\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">allegations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> against him, (he leaves it up to the audience to make up their mind about this as well), Ansari seemed to be guaranteeing that his audience is incapable of separating the art from the artist. To respond to the ideas the comedian kept throwing at them also meant contending with the ruins of his reputation and not ignoring it. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It a move that can easily be read as both emotionally manipulative and self-aware. The Hasan Minhaj joke for instance, was followed by Ansari somewhat sincerely addressing the allegations against him, admitting his lapse in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/bilkis-bano-rape-survivors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">judgement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, freely revealing the shame that his own actions brought him, and acknowledging the unjust weight thrust upon his audience to rehabilitate him. But it was also preceded by another bit that ruminated on the futility of cancelling Michael Jackson now when his music is already imprinted in our minds as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/in-memory-of-friends-1990-documentary-1984-pogrom-sikhs-india\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">memory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s a bit whose punchline arrives only as a question in the audience\u2019s head: Are you a bad person if you play \u201cThriller\u201d at your wedding or hum an R Kelly song without realising it?<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Processing most of Ansari\u2019s set is naturally, a frustratingly complicated exercise that is exacerbated by the fact that his standing in contemporary culture hinged on the tenets of political correctness and wokeness. The divided public reaction on the \u201cvalidity\u201d of his misconduct last year only revealed a cultural <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/bollywoods-a-sellout-did-we-really-need-cobrapost-to-tell-us-that\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dissonance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that is yet to have a singular resolution. An outcome that stemmed not just from the fact that Ansari\u2019s missteps existed in a grey area but also because it involved a \u201clesser\u201d \u2013 woefully common even \u2013 variant of non-consensual behaviour. A year on, the comedian capitalises on that same dissonance and ambitiously goes all out in revealing the chinks in the armour of the extreme woke. It&#8217;s precisely the kind of thing we demand from compelling art.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aziz Ansari performed his comeback stand-up tour, \u201cRoad to Nowhere\u201d in India this weekend.
