Pankaj Pankaj: Beckham, Scotch & The Closet

Make some noise for Pankaj Pankaj as he takes the stage of the Spirit of Comedy final with a set exploring identity, life expectancy and the future of his career. Wishing his dad was a bus driver so he had a shot at becoming the Mayor of London, Pankaj makes us laugh through stories of his childhood and how he’s proud of who he is, which is Scottish Indian.

Buckle up for:

• Ai coming for your job
• Does anyone know what he does
• He is from India living in Scotland for 5 summers (a lot longer than you think)
• The secret to a long life
• Bend it like Beckham leaves you wondering “what is Beckham?”
• Being stuck in a closet with no room for experiments
• Reflecting on how his passion is now pension
• No matter what happens, his identity always comes out on top in cricket

By day he is a university academic (allegedly), and by night, he is in bed. Pankaj has lived in Scotland for a grand total of 5 summers now, which is a lot longer than you’d think.
