His online videos subsequently accumulated hundreds of millions of views.<ref>{{cite web |title=Anubhav Singh Bassi |url=https://zeppelinentertainment.com/artists/anubhav-singh-bassi/ |website=Zeppelin Entertainment |access-date=18 September 2026}}</ref>

The special presents a fictionalized account of Bassi's early professional life after graduating from law school. It follows his move to Delhi, his experiences as a young lawyer, his friendships and the series of career decisions that eventually led him toward comedy. Amazon Prime Video lists the special as an 83-minute Hindi-language comedy performance directed by Abhishek Upmanyu.<ref>{{cite web |title=Anubhav Singh Bassi - Bas Kar Bassi |url=https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0NAYXIJCTI3GODKFKH72W9ZZ6I |website=Prime Video |access-date=18 September 2026}}</ref>

The release marked Bassi's transition from primarily online and live stand-up performances to a full-length streaming special.

He has also delivered a TED Talk discussing his experiences and career journey.

== Comedy style ==

Bassi's comedy is primarily characterized by storytelling and autobiographical material. His sets frequently draw on experiences from his childhood, education, hostel life, friendships and professional attempts before entering comedy.

Rather than relying exclusively on short jokes, his performances often develop individual stories over several minutes. This approach has also influenced the format of his YouTube videos and live performances.

His material commonly combines conversational Hindi with everyday observations and recurring personal anecdotes.

== Tours and live performances ==

Live stand-up has remained an important part of Bassi's career. His performances have included tours across numerous Indian cities, with ''Bas Kar Bassi'' becoming one of his principal touring shows.

He has also performed internationally for audiences outside India. His touring work has expanded the distribution of his Hindi-language stand-up beyond digital platforms and domestic comedy venues.<ref>{{cite web |title=Anubhav Singh Bassi |url=https://blueeyeentertainment.in/artists/anubhav-singh-bassi |website=Blue Eye Entertainment |access-date=18 September 2026}}</ref>
