This is the first of our “Stereotype” series where @usamastandsup and @pranahaha interview various “brown” stereotypes to go beyond the cliches and engage real people to tell us their universally human stories. In this episode we interview Uber driver Jatin Jani. Jatin patiently endures our company while telling us his story of immigrating from Gujarat to New Jersey in the 80s—the hardships he faced and overcame to build a life for himself and his family, his perceptions of “stereotypes”, and even sings for us a bit. Jatin’s a real one so he doesn’t have social media, but you should stay following us @pranahaha @usamastandsup @yourmangobae.

We keep the good times rolling as we try to marry off our girl Zubi to a suitable suitor, she tries to refuse, and we talk to her about her struggles coming out as bisexual to her conservative Muslim family.
This week we chat with our buddy, director/writer/comedian/pseudo-Dominican Zubi Ahmed about her parents efforts to marry her off to some rando Bengalis in the NY Metropolitan/ Dhaka-metropolitan area and it is HILARIOUS FUN laughing at Zubi’s grim fate! We love her and so will you, so please marry her!!! This one was so much fun it had to be a two-parter.
Whoa bhaiiiiiii it’s another journey off the rails, into the heart of true comedic Tajfoolery , where @usamabinlaughin and @pranahaha go off like a holi cracker on everything from the Carnatic “me too” scandals, sex-lazy qawwali crooners, moms (duh), and much much more...oh, and Bangladeshi independence :)

From a niche art form struggling to fill seats a few years ago, to now, where everyone who's heard of George Carlin rushes to open mics. It's been one heck of a journey for Indian comedy. The guys at Simblified speak to two veterans from the scene: Stand-up comedian Daniel Fernandes and he-does-it-all guy Abish Mathew, to talk about how the scene has grown, what aspiring comics should keep in mind, what the business of comedy is like, and more. Along the way, there are fascinating anecdotes and their own personal stories in the comedy scene. Needless to say, it's the funniest Simblified episode to date, and one which could have easily gone on for longer. You probably already do, but follow Danny and Abish on the socials: They're @absolutelydanny and @abishmathew on both Instagram and Twitter, to keep up with what they're up to and about new shows (specials, videos and all that).
