AIB roast has now turned into a Frankenstein monster tormenting and roasting its very own creators. AIB folks had to face severe backlash post publishing the roast video featuring Karan Johar, Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor. FIRs and cases were filed left, right and center. The AIB folks even had to tender an unconditional apology to the Christian community for hurting their sentiments. The last nail in the coffin was a sharp reaction from Aamir Khan criticizing the roast and calling it ‘violent’.

The mess that the comedians had to deal with in the last month left them with little or no time to prepare for their gigs. As a result, AIB had to call off its live tour which was slated to kickstart in Pune from 7th March. Team AIB also posted their statement on Facebook clarifying the reasons behind calling the tour off. Reproduced below is their statement:

Hi all.
Regrettably, All India Bakchod is cancelling all shows of our Stage Forty-Twoo live tour that was scheduled to kick off in Pune on the 7th of March. Why?

Because we’ve spent the last month and a half dealing with you-know-what and we now need time to write up a kickass show that kicks the ass of ‘The Show That Must Not Be Named’. Sorry about this, but we’ll be back soon. And with a completely new show at that.

Trust us, this was not an easy call to take. Also, in case you’re wondering, yes, the Stage 42 tickets you bought will be refunded over the next 7 days, no questions asked.

In case you have any questions on your refund you can write in to [email protected] and they’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

As always, we’re super grateful for your support and we hope that the next time we get on stage, you guys will turn up, louder and happier than ever before.

On the bright side, we’re back to work now. Our next set of videos are already in production and will be out soon, so yay.

Thank you once again.
Cheers
AIB

We texted Tanmay Bhat for a reaction but he remained unavailable for comment. Let’s hope things are back to being sunny for AIB folks soon.
