Hi, I am Manish. Family and friends call me Manni. My comic friends gave me a new name BIG Manni. Big Manni is actually very small. I live in San Diego, California.

I do science and comedy. Comedy is now like drugs and therapy combined to me. I also love to take pictures and I love them in black and white. I even dream in black and white. Do you dream in color or B&W?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be in NYC Jun 15-21, 2015. I will be performing at Comic Strip Live, 86th street, and I am looking for a host. Let me know if you will be interested to host me. Spasibo! Manish

Interests

Science and Comedy. I perform comedy regularly in San Diego and when I am travelling I like to perform in the city I visit. You can watch some of my public videos here:
