I finally got to sit down with Paul Chowdhry, right as he's gearing up for his biggest North American run yet. Paul is one of the most successful British Indian stand-up comedian in history - selling out arenas across the UK and coming off a massive, multi-year tour that culminated in a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe with 5 star reviews. Now, he's bringing that momentum stateside with his Artificial Indian tour across the U.S. and Canada.

We talk about what it's like taking a career built overseas and introducing it to American audiences, and how Paul has managed to stay sharp, relevant, and fearless after more than 25 years on comedy stages. Along the way, we get into British vs. American humor, touring at scale, and the very real pressure of betting big on yourself. If you're curious about Paul's journey, or deciding whether to grab tickets when he hits your city, this conversation will give you the full picture.

They talk about how their friendship evolved through writing, how they challenge and support each other, and what it's like to create work that reflects their shared sensibilities while still giving each other space to be honest and vulnerable.

They also dive into the show they've been developing, reflecting on the writing process, the pilot, and the experience of seeing their work take shape. From balancing ambition and authenticity to finding humor in the messy parts of collaboration, this episode offers a real look at what it's like to build something together in comedy.
