Aaqib Merchant is Not Uber Man

Aaqib Merchant has no secrets from his audience! But yours are invited. Confess honestly and anonymously (or make public) the events that broke you and let Aaqib create catharsis from the comfort of your seat. 

Getting scammed over a d*** pic, witnessing a goat sacrifice, and a man killed by a flying cow - Aaqib brings true stories and hilarious stand-up to an all-new show format where audience confessions make up half the show.  

He's an immigrant brown man with zero jokes about Uber, and he's a long way from being the Ubermensch - but after an hour in his company audiences will leave feeling lighter, refreshed and with a sense of satisfaction that makes them a better person.
