Netflix has just released the trailer for Yours Sincerely, Kanan Gill and this will be the platform’s upcoming stand-up comedy special with Gill himself. If you watch Pretentious Movie Reviews/em> (yes, that exists) on YouTube, then you’re very familiar with this man. In the comedy, Gill finds himself going through his letter he wrote when he was 15 years old––setting his future straight.
Here’s what he had to say about the upcoming comedy special!
“Hello, this is Kanan Gill and this by no means is a way to extend the length of this video, so that the YouTube algorithm picks it up,” Gill begins after the Yours Sincerely trailer ends midway through the YouTube clip, before adding and trying to stifle a smile: “It is not that one hundred percent. The trailer you just saw was for my special, Yours Sincerely, filmed last year and this part is being filmed very much right now, under lockdown. I hope you’re all staying safe and at home.”
“I just wanted to say that it’s really difficult to cut the trailer for a comedy special because you want to give away, like, the theme of the show and to say that it’s funny, but you don’t want to give away any big jokes or any big context. And there is a lot of context to set up, so I hope we did a good job and I hope it’s convinced you enough to watch it. Please force someone else to watch it as well, and I hope you enjoy it. And if you didn’t enjoy it also, I hope you watch the whole thing and didn’t enjoy it. Like a champ.”
In a prepared statement, Gill added: “This show is about rediscovering the goals I’d set for myself when I was younger and seeing how my life has measured up. It’s about how I thought my life would be, how it turned out to be and how I feel about it. The process of writing is spending long periods of time with nothing but ideas. Each line has been agonised over and told to thousands of people around the world before being recorded.”
Yours Sincerely, Kanan Gill will be premiering on the 24th of April on Netflix India and elsewhere!
