Figuring Fatherhood Feat Anirban Dasgupta - Simple Ken Podcast | EP 43
I have been a big admirer of Anirban's writing for a long time. It's a shame I haven't hung out with him as much as I want to. This episode I wanted to explore a topic we seldom talk about in this episode (And not seen in most other online conversations)...being a first time dad as a millennial. Obviously having a child is primarily a mothers journey but why not talk about the clueless man next to his partner watching and wondering what does a father do in 2024? This conversation was fun, lighthearted and also quite nerdy considering the detail we go into about performing stand up comedy across the globe.__________________________________________________________Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.A simple podcast about tackling the weekly conflicts of a comedian.

New Chapter Feat. Kanan Gill - Simple Ken Podcast | EP 42
It brings me great pleasure to release the first episode of Simpleken in 2024 with my close friend Kanan Gill. It's exciting to announce his first published novel "Acts of God" that is on sale right now on Amazon.We talk about being trapped in blind spots, moisturising, recurring problems, self esteem , healthy relationship with work and suffering. As you can see, we covered a range of topics that most would call "alarming". Hope you enjoy this episode and hope you have a great new year ahead!__________________________________________________________Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.A simple podcast about tackling the weekly conflicts of a comedian.

Loneliness Lessons Feat. Prashasti Singh & Saurav Mehta - Simple Ken Podcast | EP 41
I learned the various aspects of friendship in this lovely conversation with Prashasti and Saurav. The way they support each other in ways that enable space, growth and also a chance to be vulnerable was so eye opening to me. Through out the episode I kept bringing up how envious I was of such a wonderful friendship. We also answered a lot of questions from the audience. A lot of laugh out loud moments in the episode with topics that are so specific to our lifestyle that I am so excited for all of you to watch it!__________________________________________________________Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.A simple podcast about tackling the weekly conflicts of a comedian.

Clean Comedy Feat. Hoezaay - Simple Ken Podcast | EP 40
I am a fan. Hoezaay is the effortless comedian who blurs the line between artist and art. Hoezaay is funny and what Hoezaay does is also funny. The sweet, calm and chill vibe that he exudes is also what I got to experience while sitting down with him for the first time (Usually we are standing). I always wanted to pick his brain on many things like navigating through so many decades of being in the Indian entertainment business. We spoke about his family, how he started and his strictly financial goals. I hope you enjoy this episode.__________________________________________________________Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.A simple podcast about tackling the weekly conflicts of a comedian.

Viral Friendship Feat. Nirmal Pillai (MahLyf_MahRulez) & Abishek Kumar - Simple Ken Podcast | EP 39
It's good to be back after so long. After touring America and Europe I was itching to do a Simpleken episode. I had spoken to Nirmal and Abishek that I was very keen to pick their brains about their journey so far. I love also exploring what makes two very creative minds gravitate towards each other. They spoke about how they work together, feeling alienation from the scene and what the future lies for them. Hope you enjoy watching this as much as I did.__________________________________________________________Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.A simple podcast about tackling the weekly conflicts of a comedian.

Love Languages Feat. Kanan, Prashasti, Shreeja & Shamik - Simple Ken Podcast | EP 38
It's been 3 years! I had to celebrate this occasion (and Valentines Day) by bringing four experts on love, relationships and life for this episode. I was giddy with excitement to pick their brains on topics that I love over analysing. It's always a riot with 4 fine comedians. We got a collection of lovely questions from our audience including thoughts on cheating, parents, why we love and love languages. Hopefully you enjoy watching (or listening) to the 3 year anniversary episode of simpleton. Show your love in the comments and also on our BRAND NEW SIMPLE KEN Youtube page. Where we will be putting up excerpts of our favourite conversations from the podcast.__________________________________________________________Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.A simple podcast about tackling the weekly conflicts of a comedian.

Moving Forward (Feat. Vir Das) - Simple Ken | EP 37
Having Vir on SimpleKen was a long time coming. I picked his brain on how he navigated through the initial days of his career, his support in the industry , how he deals with the constant press chatter and how he plans his steps ahead. A career that involves television, movies, music and stand up, An hour of conversation didn't feel enough. It was a great way to bring the new year in with a brand new episode. ____________________________Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.A simple podcast about tackling the weekly conflicts of a comedian.

Emotional Investment Feat. Kumar Varun, Rohan Desai and Shreemayee Das - Simple Ken | EP 35
It brings me great pleasure to welcome you into my most hardcore-comedy-friendship group. The conversations I have with Rohan, Shreemayee (Weepli) and Kumar could be too intense for the novice comedy viewer. As four comics who enjoy sarcasm, self aware gossip and over the top generalisations, I couldn't hold my excitement for this one. We talk about how we deal with the over load of information we receive on a daily basis, the misuse of "emotional investment" and get into a classic Kumar Varun rant at the end about artist and social media. ____________________________Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.A simple podcast about tackling the weekly conflicts of a comedian.

Understanding Law Feat. Aniket Dasgupta, Aneesa Cheema & Ranjeev Carvalho - Simple Ken | EP 34
It's not everyday you have Mumbai high court lawyers on your show. Aneesa & Ranjeev also happen to be my closest friends. Adding to the mix is a producer from Vice India, my good friend Aniket Dasgupta.This episode talks about how overwhelming understanding the law is, how ignorance of it isn't tolerated and what we can do to change our attitude towards it (or maybe we just pretend to). All of the guests (including me ) moved to Mumbai for our careers so there is a lot of millennial frustration of figuring out our lives while also getting used to the mega city that is Mumbai.____________________________Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.A simple podcast about tackling the weekly conflicts of a comedian.
