Not for the faint-hearted, The Racist Immigrants definitely sways to the filthy side – but if that’s your thing, you’ll be roaring with laughter. White guilt-tinged laughter if you’re not a person of colour.

Offering up two comedians a night for an hour of deeply controversial yet devilishly hilarious material you’d best avoid retelling, this show saw Aditya Gautam and Paul The Black take the stage.

Instantly charismatic and at ease with the crowd, Gautam’s brand of humour will have you laughing out of shock. His oh-so-wrong, yet oh-so-clever terrorism quips and Uber material had the audience in stitches – but some questionable gags about “Indian dicks” left little to be desired.

Up next, Paul The Black elicited whistles, raucous applause and cheers as he discussed emigrating from Kenya with some cheeky digs at the northern suburbs of Adelaide and delightfully silly tales from childhood.

With just a sprinkling of the dirty stuff, Paul manages to strike a balance between overly grubby and witty.

He Huang and local talent Delhi Buoy are also on the bill, with the line-up changing nightly.
