Today I am joined by the hilarious Bengali-American comedian Usama Siddiquee. The interview starts out with Usama turning the tables on Caitlin and grilling her on her love life and her so-called “Southern drawl.” He then opens up about how he got into comedy instead of going to med school, his parents’ initial aversion to that decision, and the documentary that inspired him to live “inside out”-- AKA for himself and not external validation. We finish up the first section discussing his time on America’s Got Talent, where he made Simon Cowell laugh and offended Heidi Klum. During the Quarter Life Qualms segment, he discusses some of the differences between his 20s and 30s and the unique challenges our generation faces that boomers did not. We finish up with a rapid fire game of 7 Tea Questions. Follow Usama @usamastandsup and his podcast Mango Bae @yourmangobae.
