RAJIV SATYAL - "First person in history to perform standup on all 7 continents" 

Rajiv Satyal is a Los Angeles-based comedian/host with some interesting claims to fame:  Rajiv opened for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in front of 17,000 people.  He made the massively viral I AM INDIAN video, which has been seen over 50 million times, shared by Bollywood stars, and used to introduce the Indian Prime Minister in Shanghai and Dubai.  He has opened for Russell Peters more than any other Indian comedian.  Rajiv has opened multiple times for Tim Allen, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jo Koy, Kevin Nealon, and Dave Chappelle, and even opened Chappelle’s very first show after his much-publicized African hiatus.  One night in New York City, Satyal closed the show at Gotham Comedy Club, following one of his heroes, Jerry Seinfeld. Satyal performs weekly at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood. Rajiv is the only person ever to perform standup comedy on all seven continents; in December 2019, he became the first person ever to do standup on Antarctica.  He co-created the world-touring Make Chai Not War, a Hindu/Muslim stand-up show. Rajiv has written and performed three 100-min one-person shows, each one with a different theme.  In 2019, the subject is politics, culminating in a performance at the U.S. House of Representatives.  In 2017, Taking a Stand, all about music, led him to become the first standup comic ever to perform at Spotify. And back in 2013, Rajiv wrote No Man’s Land, a show about his dating life that sold out all performances from LA to NY to San Francisco to Cincinnati. This show actually led to Satyal’s marriage, which itself had a comedic arc:  Rajiv proposed to his girlfriend while opening for Kevin Nealon, and at his wedding, Russell Peters finally opened for him! -  http://rajivsatyal.com/
