Amish Patel joins Jimmer Lowe for an Episode of Q'd Up. Amish’s life began as a classic fish out of water tale. From a young age he gained perspectives on both Indian and Canadian cultures and learned to deal with discrimination and xenophobia through humour. Amish loved comedy from day one but he still obtained an Aerospace Engineering degree.

After literally becoming a rocket scientist, Amish made up for lost time in comedy by writing and producing his own sketch comedy show called Fade to Brown. He produced sold out shows with crowds of over seven hundred people, gained media attention from NOW Magazine to the CBC, and acquired the funding to executive produce a sketch comedy show for Rogers Television. After Fade to Brown, Amish focused his attention on stand-up comedy and his online presence.  Building a loyal online following and racking up hundreds of thousands of views on his comedy videos and becoming the host of Second City’s Diversity night. Not bad for a guy who used to work on jet engines! 

Amish also focuses his time on acting. He can currently be seen in a recurring role on the Emmy-Award winning series Dino Dana (TVO, Amazon and Nickelodeon). He has also appeared on Torontopia (CBC Comedy), Saving Hope (CTV), Man Seeking Woman (FX), and Odd Squad (TVO). As a stand up he recently opened for SNL alumni Tim Meadows, and Iliza Schlesinger to a packed house at the Danforth Music Hall.  His original sketch comedy show Melting Pot was picked, from hundreds of submissions, by Kevin Hart at the Just for Laughs festival. And, Amish knows how airplanes work. Did we cover that? Great!
