Manpreet Singh – The Comic Singh Who Made India Laugh Through Its Darkest Days (Comedian, 559K+ Followers)

“During the pandemic, I just wanted to make my friends laugh—now I’m performing across continents. This still feels surreal.”

1. How did your journey as The Comic Singh begin?

It all started with a voice and a vibe I couldn’t ignore. Growing up in a Punjabi household, humor was our default setting—we laughed through chaos, chores, and challenges. During the pandemic, I began posting short skits on social media just to entertain friends and family. To my surprise, those videos started gaining traction and resonating with a wider audience. That’s when I realized that laughter wasn’t just a hobby—it could be my calling.

2. What inspires your content and humor?

Everyday life is my biggest inspiration. Whether it’s a nosy aunty, a wedding scene, or the struggles of long-distance relationships—I find humor in real desi experiences. My Punjabi roots and daily interactions shape my content. If it makes my mom laugh or my friends nod in recognition, I know I’ve struck the right chord.

3. What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?

Staying consistent without burning out. Social media often feels like a hamster wheel—you’re only as good as your last reel. Balancing creativity with algorithms, while keeping your sanity intact, has been a real learning curve. But over time, I’ve learned to prioritize authenticity over perfection.

4. A moment or milestone you're proud of?

Performing my first full-house live show—that gave me goosebumps. There’s something magical about hearing real people laugh in real time. Another proud moment? When families reach out to tell me my videos helped them through tough days. That’s the real reward.

5. How do you deal with criticism or trolling?

I take in what’s constructive and tune out the rest. Not everyone will vibe with your style—and that’s completely fine. I focus on the love, keep my circle close, and remind myself why I started. The rest is just background noise.

6. Any advice for aspiring digital creators?

Be unapologetically yourself. Don’t chase trends—create from your truth. Consistency matters, but so does rest. And don’t be afraid to experiment—the right audience will find you when your content is honest and real.

7. What exciting things are you currently working on?

2025 is buzzing! I’m gearing up for a live tour across India and Canada, and by the end of this year, I’ll have performed in the UK, Europe, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.

Let’s just say—Comic Singh is ready to take laughter beyond borders this year.
