Zakir’s stand-up routines often draw from his experiences growing up in a middle-class Indian household, highlighting the intricacies of relationships, family dynamics, and the struggles of an average man in a humorous yet relatable way. His distinct storytelling style resonates strongly with audiences across India, especially the youth.
Beyond stand-up, Zakir Khan has made a mark in Indian digital entertainment. He is known for his work on Amazon Prime Video, particularly for his popular stand-up special Haq Se Single and his role in the Amazon Prime series Comicstan as a mentor. Zakir has also ventured into acting, with appearances in several web series and shows that showcase his versatile talents.
