According to a press release, Finlandia, the distiller that makes the premium vodka, is sponsoring “an initiative to propel stand-up comedy in India,” headlined by LCSer Papa CJ.
The release focuses on last Friday’s show in Calcutta, which launched the tour.
Finlandia, Brown-Forman’s premium Finnish Vodka brings world-class stand-up comedy to a cool Calcutta night. On Friday night the popular stand-up comedian had the audience in splits with his witty humor; including the front row guests whom he targeted frequently with his incisive wit.
The pulsating evening saw Actors, Parambrata Chatterjee, Swastika Mukherjee, Dhruv Majumdar, Designer, Agnimitra Paul, besides celebrity chef couple, Shawn Kenworthy and Pinky Kenworthy laughing uproariously among a guest profile of 250 of Calcutta’s swish set.
Brown-Forman is a huge, American-based corporation.
Brown-Forman employs 4,440 people worldwide with about 1,300 located in Louisville. Brown-Forman, one of the largest American-owned spirits and wine companies and among the top 10 largest global spirits companies, sells its brands in more than 135 countries and has offices in cities across the globe. In all, Brown-Forman has more than 35 brands in its portfolio of wines and spirits.
Is there a better combination than standup and distilled spirits?
We have one question: Exactly what is Calcutta’s “swish set?”
