Award winning comedian Sid Singh got to help beat the Trump Administration in court…on accident. Find out how his journey from NYC to law school to college to the Fringe created the craziest year of his life!
"Very, very funny!" The Scotsman
“Might be his generation’s Jon Stewart!” -Madrid Comedy Con.
"Non-stop laughs, the highest quality comedy I've ever seen on the Free-Fringe" Theatre Weekly
"The purest kind of stand-up, impressive comic timing throughout" EdFringeReview
"Hysterical... A natural comedian" Broadway Baby
"A master at the craft of comedy" Distractify
"Will make your jaw drop" theQR.co.uk
Hailing from the Bay Area, California, Sid Singh is an accomplished stand up comedian and writer whose work has appeared on BBC's Muzlamic, Comedy Central UK's Modern Horror Stories, BBC3's Comedy Shorts, Comic Relief and more! In addition, he was a cast member at the famed Boom Chicago theatre in Amsterdam where he wrote and starred in their show The Future Is Here.
In 2019 his Edinburgh Fringe Show American Refugee was listed as one of just four Free Fringe Shows to be a MUST WATCH by The Scotsman who stated that "This is a game-changer of a show, or at least it should be, because playing the game Sid's way, you get the feeling that your chances of winning are exponentially increased. " and Radio Haha which stated: "His coolness on stage is remnant of that of Dave Chappelle, whilst his level-headed demeanour is likened to late-night talk show hosts like Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert. How is this guy not bigger than he currently is?"
In 2023, Sid surpassed that by getting nominated for best show for his show Table for One by the Edinburgh Comedy ISH Awards and won the award for Best Performer at the Comedians Choice Awards! One of his jokes was also selected by The Telegraph as one of the top 30 jokes at the Fringe
Sid has since toured the show around America and Europe headlining theatre shows in New York, Berlin, London, Amsterdam, Vienna, Prague, Barcelona and more as a result! In addition, his debut comedy album Amazing! Probably reached number 3 on the iTunes comedy chart and can still be streamed on all major platforms today!
