Tapan Trivedi grew up
in India. When he was 22 he came to America.
Besides blondes and redheads, he discovered Standup
Comedy. Pushed to the stage on the insistence of
his friends he went up at the celebrated, Houston Laff
Stop open mic where he killed his first time on stage.
Addicted to laughter,
Tapan kept plugging on until he was a finalist in the
"Funniest Person in Houston" competition. Since
then he has performed with comedians such as; Dave
Attell, Tom Rhodes, Bobby Slayton, Debbie Gutierrez,
Jerry Corley, Mike Pace, Ralphie Mae and Lahna Turner.
Constantly on the
road winning audiences with his brilliant writing and
hilarious observations of life in the USA, as an East
Indian immigrant, Tapan still finds time for television
commercials, radio performances and film roles.
Tapan recently
wrapped up a movie for the Howard Stern Film Festival.
Sacramento News and Review calls him "...one of the best
comedians in California - period."
Jeffrey Callison of
NPR says, "This cat made me laugh out (loud) more than
ANY guest ever has!"
Tapan has since
gained notoriety by his racial observations and his
ultra geeky one liners and his catch phrase, "I can't
understand America' is gaining popularity by the day!"
