Comic Kabir Singh to appear at Northern

Kabir Singh, one of the fastest rising stand-up comedians in the United States, will appear at Montana State University0-Northern's Student Union Building at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Born in Portland, Oregon, in 1984 to Indian parents, Singh realized at an early age that it wouldn't be easy making friends at school. Luckily for him, he soon became known as the funniest Indian kid in Oregon — not too difficult, considering he was the only Indian kid in Oregon.

When he was nine, his family moved to Bombay — Mumbai — India where he was bullied and teased for being American which taught him how to make people laugh in no less than three languages.

At 13, Singh moved back to the United Staes to continue his education, graduating from San Jose State University.

Singh delivers his life experiences and the culture clashes of being an Indian in America and an American in India to the stage.

He made his national television debut on the Starz Network in December 2013, and was featured on Comedy Central's "Stand-Up Revolution" in 2014.

Singh has headlined at some of the most famous clubs in California including the Hollywood Improv, Hollywood Laugh Factory, Long Beach Laugh Factory and selling out many other clubs all over America. He has shared the stage with some of the biggest stand-up comedians in the world including Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, Bill Burr, and Russell Peters.

This show, sponsored by Associated Students of MSU-Northern, is free for MSU-Northern students, faculty and staff. For the community, the cost is $5 for an adult and $3 for high school students.
