Biography

Umar began his comedy career performing improv. He was a founding member of Pakistan's first English-speaking improv troupe, Black Fish, which represented Pakistan in an international theatre festival in Manchester, England. He later moved to Bahrain because of a new job posting and, in January 2007, moved to Singapore.

After performing in many improv shows and stand-up comedy events, in September 2010 Umar founded Comedy Masala. Comedy Masala offers a weekly open mic in Singapore and brings in comedians from across Asia. Umar has also hosted many events, including Rob Schneider's stand-up comedy performance in Singapore. Umar was also the second runner-up at the 2009 HK International Comedy Festival.

gollark: So, do you not want help, or specifically not mine?
gollark: Or, well, with a user API somewhat like how modems work even though the implementation details are totally different.
gollark: Skynet basically just lets you send messages via mine in a similar way to how modems work.
