While America’s Got Talent (AGT): Season 16 is on its Summer Olympics hiatus, the Jake’s Take’s AGT Season 16 special podcast continues! This week, I welcomed comedian Kabir Singh to the podcast.

Over the past 11 years, Kabir has built a following as he toured across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. His material helped him win several comedy competitions, including the Rooster T. Feathers Bay Area, San Jose Improv Bay Area, the San Francisco International Comedy Competition, and the $10,000 Knights of Comedy Competition at LaughFest. He was also able to share the stage with top comedians, including Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Russell Peters, and Dane Cook. Also, Kabir placed third in the 2016 Big Sky Comedy Festival and was named a finalist for NBC’s nationwide Stand Up for Diversity showcase.

Kabir Singh also released several comedy albums, including 2013’s Welcome to the Future and 2019’s The Calm Before the Storm. Before auditioning for AGT, Kabir appeared on several shows such as Amazon Prime’s Inside Jokes, Comedy Central’s Stand Up Revolution with Gabriel Iglesias, FOX’s Family Guy, Laughs, and Punchline.

In the eighth edition of Jake’s Take’s AGT Season 16 podcast series, Kabir revisited his America’s Got Talent: Season 16 audition and revealed his hopes of becoming the first comedian to win the long-running talent competition.
