comedian by day, asleep by night

hello, reader. i am a full time comedian, born and rasied in karachi, pakistan. i studied engineering and worked as an engineer for a year before realizing it was not for me and taking up comedy full time. i perform standup comedy and improvisational comedy and i'm also the artistic director of Pakistan's leading improv troupe called LOLWaalay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i'm here because artists are poor and looking for economical lodging.

and also to behold interesting experiences and use them as jokes while performing. so i suppose a disclaimer is in order. any interactions may potentially feature in a future comedy act :D

Music, Movies, and Books

pretty much anything that sounds good. mostly EDM of late but i promise i won't blare it in your house if you choose to welcome me. also one for the classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i've performed in the middle of the desert. i also think i have consumed a record number of gluco biscuits with chai! 15 years and counting.

Teach, Learn, Share

would be happy to teach anyone who would like to learn my areas of expertise which would include engineering and comedy and a bit of musical theory as well. i play the guitar and keyboard. also learning comedy you ask? what is this? yes it can be done. it's not as random as it seems!

What I Can Share with Hosts

i can share my hairbrush because i have no use for it since my treacherously curly hair declare mercilessly to the bristles, 'thou shalt not pass!'
