He is more of a singer who thinks he is a comedian.

 

Yeah, but I love the way he blends music into his comedy. And it is clean comedy unlike some other who just throws expletives in the name of comedy

He should stick to his bits to Music. He is not funny otherwise.  Not many Hindus will take this as a joke especially when it comes from someone named Alexander Babu. Let him also joke about Joseph and Virgin Mary.

Being a Hindu myself, I didn't find this offensive at all.. In fact, "I killed it" was funny.  He is only retelling the story in a funny way.

I've seen him make fun of Christianity and conversion as well.

Sorry, I don’t like political or religious humor, plus his body language, voice makes him least funny. I guess comedy is very subjective. Satire done with the right sensibility is funny. Self-deprecating is safest in these  times. I hate Vir Das, and other woke comics

True. It is very subjective. 

Alex has a heavy Tamil accent and he makes fun of it himself. His content generally appreciates someone at the same time making fun of them by exaggerating one of their qualities.. and he mimics their accent/voice.. It is rib tickling if you have been around that culture. I've never found him woke. I've seen some woke Hindi comedy and it is terrible.

 

Here's one of the first videos that I watched of him that made me roll on the floor laughing. His accent of an elderly Tamil Iyer was so accurate, it reminded me of my uncles and how they speak. Again, it might be funny only to people who have been in such cultural set ups
