(Web Desk) - Landing in Pakistan in the early days of August, Jeremy McLellan, an American standup comedian just didn’t fall in love with the country overnight, but also made everyone fall for him and his idiosyncratic travel-blogging updates, quick humour, local references, and enthusiasm to try everything and anything that is ‘Made in Pakistan’.
Leaving back to the US last night – completing his 15-day trip, here is what McLellan had to say in his last Facebook post from Pakistan: “Very emotional day for me. After two weeks in the country, it s my last day here. I ve toured two cities, sold out 6 shows, helped a dental team provide free care to 1,800 villagers, eaten 100,000 pounds of food, celebrated Pakistan Independence Day Pindi Boy style, took thousands of selfies with fans, started an online war with Indian trolls, and drove around much of this beautiful country. By the time I ended the tour, 80% of my show was stuff I wrote since I landed. What a ride.”
Not just this but Jeremy throughout his trip had a lot to tell the world about Pakistan through his witty travel-blogging. Touring different parts of the country conducting stand-up comedy shows organised by ‘Kuch Khaas’ Jeremy had been updating his international fan-base about his daily experiences on social media, including that of a first world person meeting third world problems, in a rather hilarious way.
Here are a few of his experiences as a ‘gora’ in Pakistan, shouting out to the world, breaking some popular stereotypical approaches of people around the globe, about Pakistan.
