Sorabh Pant's mother was the first one in the family to have watched Sacred Games, the popular web series that has left a trail of pop culture references like Cukoo ka jadoo and apun hi bhagwan hain, finding their way into memes and Internet lingo. But when Mama Pant gave away a plot twist in front of her unsuspecting son, she didn't know what "spoiler alert" means. "It's funny that she spoiled the show for me and didn't know what a spoiler was," the well-known comedian tells us.

And this became fodder for Pant's latest show titled Spoiler Alert 2018, a set that he has already performed six times in different avatars and which is still, according to him, "a work in progress". For it, Pant will be reviewing films, Supreme Court judgments, and of course, the web series itself, looking back on the year as it enters its last leg. This time, the stand-up artiste has adapted a new format wherein, and ironically enough, he won't be standing. "The momentum is a little different from stand-up. It's not a review per se and more of a sit-down conversation with a lot of audience interaction. It has a vlog-ish feel to it," Pant reveals.
