Sachin Shaan.

Sachin is a rising New York City-based comedian who regularly appears at all of the city’s top venues. He is best known as the creator and co-curator of The Surprise Show, which TimeOut New York has repeatedly praised as “you never know who you’ll see at this stand-up show” and is considered one of the hottest independent productions. Sachin has also shared the stage with the biggest names in comedy – Jim Gaffigan (5 Netflix specials), TJ Miller (Deadpool, HBO’s Silicon Valley), Judah Friedlander (NBC’s 30 Rock), Todd Barry (Netflix’s “Crowd Work Tour”), Hasan Minhaj (The Daily Show), and Russell Peters (Outsourced). In particular, Sachin has repeatedly performed with Gaffigan, Friedlander, and Barry as they are regular drop-in guests on The Surprise Show. In 2016, Sachin was one of only eleven stand-up comedians featured at NYC’s Peoples Improv Theater’s year-long stand-up residency program. Sachin’s TV-clean comedy derives entirely from his personal experiences ranging from his Twitter namesake nemesis, high school reunion nightmares, and his love of acupuncture. Frequently an emcee, Sachin is a highly energetic host who uniquely does clean and effective crowd work.
