Hey I’m Nish. I’m a comedian, engineer, failed entrepreneur and subpar golfer that loves comedy. I’m in LA jumping through the hoops of working, doing open mics and trying to get on the biggest stages of comedy to convince people I’m funny.

This newsletter is that unique window into what it takes to make it in a cutthroat profession. Will I make it? I don’t know, but we gotta give it a shot!
