Maqbool: Comedian in New York

About Maqbool

In that setting, he shares the room with performers such as Shaunak Does Improvised Standup, Usama, Siddiquee, Zubi Ahmed, Danish, Neel, and Ghosh, moving between standup and a broader mixed-arts context. His musical footprint points to bhangra and qawwali, hinting at South Asian references that can surface in his comedic sensibility. The work favors specificity over spectacle.
