Richard is an Indian comedian based in Los Angeles. His dad named him Richard because he wanted him to seem American, but somehow people still found him out. Richard worked as a computer engineer in San Francisco for 10 years before quitting to tell jokes. He tried to get six pack abs for a long time but gave up because he decided that fat is energy, and men with abs are actually tired hungry men. His jokes are silly and range from talking about a taqueria that serves fortune churros to a story about the time he auditioned for the role of "skinny guy, not in shape". He's opened for Roseanne Barr, toured India doing stand up, and runs a comedy club called The Setup.

The students loved every minute of Richard's performance. He was a pleasure to work with on and off stage. His jokes were clean and hilarious and made the event very memorable.
