Eshaan Akbar is an ex-banker turned stand-up comedian. If you haven't seen him on your feeds, in a venue near you, or on your TV (QI, Mock the Week) - you're missing out! 

It was a joy to record this epsiode and hear all about Eshaan’s life. 

We talk about: 

- Growing up too white to be brown, and too brown to be white 

- Money, a banking career and impressing aunties 

- Trading it all to pursue comedy 

- His relationship with his late mother 

- Dealing with frief, and the grief balloon. 

- And of course - we talk about Eshaan’s message to the world, “Dear Everyone, the things that you think matter, don’t - and the things you forget matter, do.” 

This episode is everything you can expect from Eshaan, in that it’s both incredibly funny yet incredibly moving at the same time. I took alot of value from my time with Eshaan, and I only hope you all can too.
