Hasan Minhaj, Vir Das, Russell Peters are the obvious ones. Who else is doing the circuit? Especially looking for touring comedians who do shows in NJ/NY area. Bonus if they do Hindi/Hinglish material.

The desi comedy scene in the US is BOOMING right now: **Touring regularly:** - Zakir Khan — does US tours 2x/year, Hindi/Hinglish, absolutely hilarious - Biswa Kalyan Rath — cerebral comedy, great live - Abhish Mathew — high energy, does NJ/NY regularly - Aakash Gupta — newer but selling out shows - Sahil Shah — crowd work genius **US-based desi comedians:** - Nimesh Patel — NYC-based, sharp observational humor - Akaash Singh — co-hosts Flagrant podcast, does large venues - Sam Morril isn't desi but does killer Indian crowd work bits For NJ/NY shows, follow @desievents on Instagram — they post all Indian comedy shows in the tristate. Also check Eventbrite for 'Indian comedy' — small venue shows are often the funniest.
If you haven't seen Vir Das's 'Landing' special on Netflix — watch it immediately. It perfectly captures the Indian-American experience. Also Hasan Minhaj's new material is incredible.
