In this episode of Thought Behind Things, we’re joined by Dayyan, a young, super-talented and rising stand-up comedian and content creator known for his sharp wit and humor.

From small open mics to sold-out shows, Dayyan shares his unfiltered journey through Pakistan’s evolving stand-up scene, the struggles, the experiments, and the state of comedy in a sensitive country like Pakistan.

We uncover:

• His early comedy experiments at Laugh Out Lounge • What it’s really like performing live in Pakistan • Why Pakistani comedy isn’t growing as fast as it should • The cultural, creative, and commercial barriers comedians face
