Raj Sharma began his comedy career in 2002 and has never looked back. A chance trip to The Improv changed his life forever. Born and raised in Texas, and brought up in a traditional Hindu household, gave him all the influence he needed. He soon began performing all over the country. In his first stand-up comedy special, Laugh Factory Presents Raj Sharma Live from Las Vegas, Raj delivers a great combination of daily observations, childhood stories, and lightning fast crowd work. Tom Rhodes calls him “head-crushingly funny.” Bryan Callen says, “He’s funny in 3 languages: English, Punjabi and the Future.” Raj is an original member of The Gurus of Comedy and is the co-founder of the first ever All South Asian comedy night in North America, Indians at the Improv. Twelve years into his career, Raj has worked with some of the best comics in the business including Tom Rhodes, Carl LaBove, Pablo Francisco, Frank Caliendo, Brian Regan, Bruce Bruce, and many more. His passion for comedy has taken him across the country and across the globe, working in clubs and numerous colleges and corporate events.
