**Receding Hairline | Growing Waistline | Strong Punchline**These are the three ingredients of my life...and my humor.Even before I picked up Stephen Covey, I knew my mission was to:✅ Make people laugh✅ Teach the art of humor so people can make others laugh too✅ Earn insane amount of money to check off everything Adnan Sami listed in the song "Lift Kara de"Life Update - the first two are on track. 🫡My stand-up comedy journey began in 2015 when I was booed off the stage by my own SPJain friends. Looking back at that recording, I'm just grateful they didn't throw me out of the college entirely.That humbling experience has been my greatest teacher as it has helped me grow as a comedian.Over the past 9 years, I've have had the privilege (and grit) to perform more than 1,000 comedy shows and open mics for Stand-up and Improv comedy across India, the US, Singapore, and Dubai. As an INFP (and no, my tipsy friends, I don’t mean IMFL), my knack for quiet observations—whether at parties, meetings, or even in the operation theatre (I am blessed with a rare heart disease) —has fuelled my material.I've shared stages with some truly amazing comedians like Zakir Khan, Anubhav Singh Bassi, Amit Tandon, Abish Mathew, and a whole bunch of other famous folks who were kind enough to appreciate my performance.Some of the corporates that have kept my daal-roti (more like Daal Makhani and Garlic Naan) flowing include Google, Adobe, and BharatPe. A few others decided to compensate me in "exposure" and "stage time"—you know how it goes.💁♂️After picking up some momentum as corporate comedian (and finally tackling my Imposter Syndrome), I ventured into teaching comedy. Thankfully, it’s been a hit.Educational institutions / startups like IIT Kanpur, Lady Irwin College, Classplus etc. have let me in to teach their students and teachers how to mix fun with learning. Some even had me stay in their hostels, letting me relive the good old student life—except this time, I got paid for it! 😉Everyone who has joined any of my workshop can vouch for the creativity, team bonding and a hilarious learning environment like no other. In a world as stressful as ours, just making someone smile is an underrated superpower. And I am here to give you that superpower 💪If you found my profile interesting, feel free to reach out for:✅ Entertainment: Stand-up Comedy Performances✅ Engagement: Improv Comedy Performances✅ Empowerment: Comedy Workshops on Humor, Storytelling, and CommunicationDrop me a line at ankrngm@gmail.com
