A worthless, mean and obnoxious act.
He should be boycotted and this piece should be removed from internet.
Mocking people with disabilities and those receiving affirmative action is against the basic tenets of comedy, a true comedian never mocks those who are in any way lower position.

6.7Plot summary
In this show, Neville narrates stories about his struggles with his age, bring orphaned, adulthood, death, depression, divorce and suicide. This isn't the only thing that doesn't make it a regular stand up special, it's also that he's doing sitting down. He treats his audience like is therapist and pretty much leaves them bereft of hope but bloated with laughter. It's dark, it's poignant, it's melancholic but it's hilarious. Considered one of the comics with the darkest material in India, Neville doesn't disappoint. The topics he deals with are narrated anecdotally, making them approachable. He doesn't make fun of them; he makes fun about them. Afflictions, vulnerabilities and flaws are a part of human beings and Neville takes his feelings about them, analyses and then presents them. It's a perspective of someone who is going through them. And you see him crumble and rise with each story, you can also see him going downhill.

A rare piece of art in the genre of stand-up comedy!
Highly underrated stand up special by Neville Shah which is surprisingly way, way, wayyy better than his previous special. Full packed with his past experiences, Neville comes out in the best way possible in expressing his thoughts over a particular situation with his practical thought process. I watched this special twice and will watch it again if time permits. If you find 'Going Downhill' boring then you should check yourself to a doctor for an IQ test. We love you craziebawa!

Mature, funny, thought provoking, yet light hearted
I never knew Neville Shah as a comedian. I only knew him as the guy who sometimes sits in on the SnG Big Question podcasts, and more recently, one fourth of the 'The Internet Said So' podcasts on Varun thakur's YouTube channel.
I never really thought he was a very funny guy, nor did I feel inclined to watch his specials. But man oh man, how wrong was I.
This special is something that I have failed to witness in Indian comics. There are hundreds of comics, good and bad, with tens of different performing style, but there's none like Neville Shah. He talks about things that happened in his life that are dark, depressing, and dull. Things that people don't want to talk about, and things that make them uncomfortable to discuss. But Neville does it with finesse, and manages to get a lot of laughs out of it too.
The style of some of the dark jokes was very Louis CK-ish, which is high praise. There are not a lot of comics out there in India who go for a dark theme of comedy, because our people run away from their problems, or subjects that involves getting out of the comfort zone. That is the reason why I really loved this special more than anything else that I've watched in the last year. It was funny, insightful, dark, and thought provoking. Neville touched on topics that were very personal to him, and made sure that nobody ever felt uncomfortable laughing at his misery.
Kudos to Neville, and - 1 to me for ever doubting this man. I give him 9 here because there were a few parts where he could have gone for better one liners, but overall it was really funny, and deserves a 9.
