Nine years ago, Chowdhry was a trailblazer on this very stage, becoming the first British Asian to appear on Live At The Apollo. Now he affects some bitterness to those who have surpassed him, such as 'coconut' Nish Kumar, 'wannabe roadman' Guz Khan and 'googly-eyed' Romesh Ranganathan. But their success is down to writing and graft... and on the first, at least, Chowdhry falls short.
