Life is Good by Ashish Shakya(en)

Life Is Good is Ashish Shakya's first-ever comedy special that has been honed over the last two years of his career, or the last 34 years of his existence - whichever backstory you prefer. Watch Ashish oscillate between goofy and sharp as he unleashes a volley of jokes on everything from the futility of nostalgia, to the ridiculousness of youth to stepmoms, terrorists, Bollywood, satire, romance and the pointlessness of existence. When asked why people should watch this special, Ashish said, "It's funny, it's chill, it's relatable AF - it won't change your life but you'll laugh, get some sweet dopamine hits and then go to bed with your someone special."* *Someone special not provided by comedian. Audiences are requested to make their own arrangements.

The “scattered factory” expands. This journey recounts how, among abandoned buildings, mines transformed into tourist attractions, factories in Eastern Europe that have been reconverted to produce Italian cars, and the transformation of industrial cities and towns such as Sesto San Giovanni (the former Stalingrad of Italy) and Lumezzane (the “workshop” city of the Brescia area). The places, the images, the sounds. The director takes note and recounts by blending telephone calls, conferences, poems, old movies, commercials on Yugoslavian TV, Russian ballets, experimental performances. One sole flow that expands into multiple senses and directions. Just like a factory.
