Sasha and Nebulous are back on the couch—and this time they are joined by South-Carolina-based, Canadian-born Tamil comedian Shivani Nadarajah! (@igetitfrommyamma) Shivani spills the tea on transitioning from the hyper-competitive U.S. comedy scene to Singapore's surprisingly welcoming stand-up community, surviving “redneck rivieras”, and why American fireworks warehouses are, apparently, the ultimate places to broker world peace.

Catch Shivani’s headliner at Siao Char Bors Comedy on 10 September! Tickets at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/siao-char-bors-comedy-ft-shivani-nadarajah-tickets-1998167935083

Highlights:

• Southern Comfort & Culture Shocks: Shivani breaks down what it was like growing up as a brown person in rural Alabama and South Carolina, and why moving to Singapore feels like living on a permanent resort.
• Comedy Hierarchies: A deep dive into the wildly different unspoken rules of comedy scenes across continents, and why Singapore's comedy scene beats the "kill-or-be-killed" U.S. circuit.
• The Dry Bar Success: How pivoting to clean corporate comedy during COVID led Shivani to film a 28-minute special in Utah.
• Accents & Ancestors: Dealing with the hilarious confusion of having a deep Southern U.S. drawl paired with Indian heritage while traveling through TSA and international airports.
• Archie Comics & Life Goals: Nebulous goes down an unhinged historical rabbit hole about how the classic love triangle with Betty and Veronica shaped her entire worldview and sexuality.

Sasha and Nebulous dive headfirst into the shady world of digital deception! Nebulous uncovers her (not-so)inner "vulnerable senior" after almost falling for a series of increasingly sophisticated scams—from Carousell iPad mishaps, to a bank scammer who sounded so thoroughly done with her job that it felt legit, to how her oversized comedian ego almost led her to financial ruin with a lesbian catfish. On the other hand, Sasha’s completely immune to phone scams (mostly because she refuses to pick up the phone for anyone) Plus: Why Nebulous remains the prime candidate for future phone scammers while Sasha's husband manages to get scammed on a weekly basis.

Sasha is officially hungover (after having a whole drink and a half post-gig), while Nebulous is questioning her entire approach to comedy. The duo dives deep into the chaotic world of performing live—from the unique challenges of doing stand-up at the Hard Rock Cafe to the brutal, beautiful art of retiring a solid hour of material. Plus: why crowd work is an addiction, what it's like performing to 100 parked electric cars, and why everyone who doesn't love Sasha is technically unlovable.

Highlights:

The Post-Baby Hangover: Sasha recounts her triumphant return to late-night gigging at the Hard Rock Cafe, only to discover that her body now processes a single drink like 17 shots.

The Viking Funeral for Jokes: Sasha details her recent decision to do zero crowd work during a major headline set, meticulously crafting a solid, narrative-driven hour and giving her old material a proper send-off.

Material vs. Organic: Nebulous and Sasha break down the comedy spectrum—comparing script-heavy memorization to high-wire, ad-hoc crowd work, and figuring out when to pivot when a room needs something entirely different.

The 30% Success Rate: Sasha confesses her love-hate relationship with a brilliant baby-burping bit that either completely kills or bombs depending on the room's demographic.

Drive-In Dilemmas: Nebulous looks ahead to a sold-out Singapore drive-in comedy gig where the audience sits in cars, sparking a hilarious debate on whether comedians naturally assume the worst when they can't see faces or hear laughter.
