“From your stand up, to writing on Family Guy, to working with the Lonely Island on “Never Stop, Stopping,” you were a force to be reckoned with. You were funny even when you weren’t trying to be and gave solid, memorable advice to those who asked. You will be greatly missed. RIP.”
Singh was also a winner of the San Francisco International Comedy Competition and a finalist in the NBC Stand Up for Diversity showcase. Known for his relatable humour and connection with audiences, his comedy specials, including Stay Single on Dry Bar Comedy, were widely praised.
