Apul–Bigger and Browner

We have been getting a bunch of questions as to what became of Apul since he left Sepia Mutiny. Here are a couple of examples:

I’m outraged by Apul’s resignation. Why is he resigning in Nixonian disgrace? What are these new projects? How can Sepia Mutiny be respected as a serious outlet for online blogtastic journalism when its cherished contributors is uncermoniously swept under the rug? [link]

Where is Apul going!? We have to know so we can follow his career! [link]

Well now we have our first word of what became of Apul since his exile. Like many others before him, Apul has decided to leave an ensemble cast and go solo. He’ll be performing his stand-up act this Friday night in Hollywood. Sleuth that I am, did he really think I wouldn’t be able to hunt him down? Tickets can be purchased here. I will be in the audience to check out his act, as well as Sanjay Shah, Nikki Chawla, Reggie D., and Tarun Shetty. They will be filming at the show for a broadcast on desivision TV. I would LiveBlog from the event but then I’d just be a freak.

As an aside, after reading this I have been considering going solo as well.

  1. One of the linked stories says:

    … the most expensive promotion CMT had ever done for any show was the “Wizmark” talking urinal cake promotion for the network’s “Outlaws” series… “Don’t miss Outlaws on CMT. You seem to miss everything else,” the chemical-infused cakes said when moistened.

    So sad I missed this promo. Not. Who wants backtalk when they’re handling the merchandise?

  2. Congrats, Apul.

    But, a related question. Is South Asian comedy the “new new thing”? I am seeing a explosion of South Asians in the arena of stand-up and just wondering what’s going on.

  3. Apul – good luck! I loved your SM posts.

    *And the things you kids wear these days….

  4. I can’t believe my post in memory of Apul has been memorialized! I’m famous! Just like Apul the comic genius! Watch out R-Pete!
