Comedian Kunal Kamra has taken a sly dig at Mumbai police asking when can he perform in the city and and if the police stands with the mob that vandalises his shows or with the law that protects.Taking to X, Kamra wrote a lengthy note, asking the police if he would be allowed to perform his comeback show and tell jokes peacefully, indoors, and with about 100 consenting adults.”For all who keep asking when I will be performing in Mumbai next: I have that same question for @MumbaiPolice.

He continued, “I understand that my previous work has caused some amount of administrative excitement over the years. I also appreciate that the Mumbai Police has many important responsibilities—maintaining law and order, preventing crime, managing traffic, watching India’s Got Latent and, occasionally, deciding whether I am allowed to tell jokes in a room.”Kamra then went on to assure that his show will be held in accordance with the law.”I therefore wish to assure you that my proposed performance – as always – will be conducted peacefully, indoors, at a venue with 100 consenting adults and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations,” he wrote.He added, “All I’m asking is if 40-50 humourless people turn up to cancel / disrupt the show or harm the venue, will you allow the hecklers to exercise their veto? Will a mob of people who didn’t buy tickets to actually come watch my show get to decide what freedom allows?”Comedian Kunal Kamra cancels select Bengaluru shows after controversyThe 37-year-old comedian concluded his note by asking, “Actually it’s down to just one question, Are you with the mob or are you with law?”Kamra’s last show in Mumbai was Naya Bharat at The Habitat comedy club in Khar in 2025.His last performance, titled Standing Up, was in Bengaluru from August 3 to August 6.
