“When I was in high school I started writing my own jokes using the structure of some of the jokes I had previously stolen. I filled up a notebook of jokes and didn’t realise until college that I could go to an open mic and tell them,” he mentioned.

“I actually had a friend read the notebook and tell me, ‘You know you can just go perform these, right?’ I didn’t know, but after a quick Google search I was off to the Laughing Skull open mic.”

Nanda additionally informed the outlet on the time that his 2017 Jimmy Kimmel Live! set was his best accomplishment in comedy.

He informed the outlet: “I’ve performed on other networks like Comedy Central, Hulu, Viceland, etc., but Jimmy Kimmel was the first place I performed where my parents were a fan of the host.”
