Kumail Nanjiani September 27, 2007

Kumail Nanjiani spent the first 18 years of his life in Karachi, Pakistan, then made the natural transition to Iowa. He was so excited to leave Iowa four years later that he started performing comedy immediately. If you think that you know everything a Pakistani-Iowan might have to say, think again. Kumail's comedy covers a broad range of topics, from giant squids to units of measurement, from men on the moon to his love of chocolate. He leaves audiences gasping for air and has been featured on Fox News and was a finalist for the HBO Aspen Comedy Festival.
