Ep.15 - Rajiv Satyal The Laugh Factory Nerd World Podcast
-
- Comedy Interviews
Rajiv Satyal grew up being, as he describes it, the modern version of a nerd. It was his sense of humor that saved him from the bullies. His comedy credits are a wikipedia dream – he is the only comedian who has ever performed on all seven continents (yes that includes Antartica), he has opened for Tim Allen, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jo Koy, Kevin Nealon, Dave Chappelle, Russell Peters and the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in front of 17,000 people. He was sent by the US State Department to perform stand up in India as a 'laughter for peace' like mission. Perhaps it was this credit along with his wisdom, kindness and willingness to be the butt of a joke to serve the greater cause of laugher that made me feel like I was hanging with the 'Comedy Gandhi.'
