The Comedian's Comedian Podcast with Stuart Goldsmith: Episode 329 - Eshaan Akbar

Eshaan Akbar has an extremely diverse comic portfolio. This former wealth manager and government policy maker is now a successful TV comedian with a significant career in the making. We talk about his very precise ambitions and his fascination with the absolute freedom of the stage, as well as his disappointment in finding out that comedy is no longer anti-establishment and that comedians are 'a precious bunch'. We also touch on Eshaan's suicide attempt, and get stuck into the tremendous difficulty of exploring a serious emotional topic using comedy.
