Rajiv Satyal Comedian from Studio City, CA

Rajiv Satyal is the small, bespectacled Indian guy from Ohio whose witty, universal, and TV-clean act resonates with Middle America by covering everything from racial issues to soap bottles to his favorite topic – himself. This former engineer and P&G marketer has repeatedly opened for Dave Chappelle, Kevin Nealon, and also for Russell Peters in sold-out auditoriums across the U.S.A. Peters recently named Rajiv as 1 of only 2 Indian American “comics to watch.” This LA-based pocket pundit challenges people to see a new point-of-view. And to explain that Indians were not involved in 9-11 – just 7-11. Finally, he talks about what it’s like to be Rajiv. And we all have some Rajiv in us, even if we don’t want to admit it. You can find Rajiv acting in commercials, doing improv, on Bill Bellamy’s Who’s Got Jokes?, XM and Sirius Satellite Radio, co-headlining the Hindu-Muslim comedy tour “Make Chai Not War,” and online managing comedic content for He routinely does over an hour of material and also plays with the audience - not putting people down but rather involving them so everyone has a good time. Please feel free to hire him to add some spice, or masala, to your party, function, reception, funeral, or bar mitzvah.
