Zaib is a stand-up comedian in New York City, who makes jokes about his life; especially about growing up in a family of previously-undocumented Indian-Muslims in Sugar Land, Texas. In this episode, Zaib shares his journey from Texas to New York, exploring his experiences with religion, community, and comedy.
