Mumbai: Months after facing massive backlash over his YouTube show 'India’s Got Latent', comedian Samay Raina is all set to comeback to the live stage in India with a new stand-up tour titled 'Samay Raina Is Alive And Unfiltered'.

India's Got Latent Controversy

For the unversed, India's Got Latent controversy erupted after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia made an objectionable comment during his appearance as a panelist on the show. He asked a contestant, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?"
