An Indian Comedian: How Not to Fit In: When youre born in India and immigrate to theU.S., it can be hard to find a place to fit in. Using his quirky attitude and intelligent comedy, Krish tries to find where he fits in. Is it with Americans or the Indians in the U.S?

an honest, funny approach to describe how his expectations of moving to America didnt line up with reality; how he has handled racism; his relationship with his parents who raised him to be a devout Hindu, yet he is no longer faithful; and even sex education -NUVO (Indianapolis)

Mohans material is frequently clever if not uproariously funny Roger Caitlin of the Washington Post

If you appreciate comedians that deliver a message with style and truth, and make you LOL while theyre delivering the message, then go see the Indian Comedian, unless of courseyoure racist. -Randy Clark from IndyFringe Talks

he is a thinking mans comedian and an astute one at that. -Tom Alvarez of the Examiner

a playful, provocative stand-up routine -The DCist

wry observations about how hes treated in America as an immigrant, though he uses where he was born and what he looks like as a jumping-off point, not a crutch -IndyStar

touchy subjects are addressed with a personal approach from lifelong experience -Ben Daniels of the DC Metro Theater Arts

His insights on racism and alienation are presented with a light-hearted touch, which can be very difficult to pull off, especially in our current climate. -Wendy Carson of Plays with John & Wendy

Audiences have called Krishs show brilliant, hilarious and refreshing as he skewers mainstream American ignorance: a nation of foreigners doesnt seem to know what to make of them.
