Comedian Kumail Nanjiani lived in Pakistan until he was 18, then moved to Iowa. If that's not a goldmine for fish-out-of-water laughs we don't know what is, but Nanjiani skewers many other topics in his one-man show, Unpronounceable, including giant squid, chocolate, space travel and religion. The show sold out completely in July and got rave reviews, so get your tickets for this Friday's performance now.
