As the world’s only Indian Jewish stand-up

comic, Samson draws on his Indian heritage, Jewish roots, and American life to craft sharp, long-form jokes packed with razor-sharp callbacks and thought-provoking punchlines. A techie-turned-comedian, he’s been named one of BookMyShow’s “10 Best Indian-Origin Comedians of the Last Decade” and Silicon India’s “10 Indian Comedians Who Found Success in the U.S.”

Samson’s comedy has earned him appearances on NPR, NBC, NDTV, The Times of India, jWeekly, and at major festivals including Just for Laughs Vancouver, SF Sketchfest, Twin Cities Jewish Humor Festival, and SF Comedy Day. His resume also includes deep runs in top competitions—semi-finalist in the Seattle International Comedy Competition, and quarter-finalist in the San Francisco Comedy Competition and Great Canadian Laugh Off.

Beyond the stage, Samson is the founder of Comedy Oakland, hailed as a “comedy utopia in Oakland” by the San Francisco Chronicle, and co-creator of Desi Comedy Fest, the biggest South Asian comedy festival in America. He’s also toured with hit showcases like You’re Funny But You Don’t Look Jewish, Funatical Comedy Tour, Make Chai Not War, Pundits with Punchlines, and Sultans of Satire.
