Paul Varghese:

An Indian American residing in Dallas, Texas, Paul has been referred to as "Funniest Comic in Dallas", back in 2009, and "Best Stand-up Comic in Dallas", back in 2007. Having toured with various superstars like Russell Peters, Paul has also acted in the second season of the series called “Last Comic Standing” and comedy central’s “Live at Gotham”.

The standup comedian in fact describes his act as "observations about being Indian, providing outsider-looking-in and insider-looking-out commentary, while also exploring an array of topics and issues outside that realm."

A lot of his acts in fact focus on what it is to be Indian. The acts may either be performed with the point of view of an outsider or a point of view of an Indian himself. He has also performed at events like the TBS comedy, the Just For Laughs Festival at Toronto and Montreal and the HBO comedy festival.
