In this episode, we will be again joined by Atif Mohammad Aziz, a multi-talented individual who excels in the realms of stand-up comedy, writing, and poetry. Atif has established himself as a stand-up and a writer. He is currently developing a series for OTT. In this episode, we dissect life as a stand-up comic, how one thinks about a joke and about some bitter moments in the life of a comic. We hope you enjoy this conversation.
