Is Tom Thakkar... A criminal? A liar? A...”Charlatan” perhaps? Tom Thakkar is a comedian living in Brooklyn by way of Indiana and Chicago… Or so he says. He claims he grew up the son of a deadbeat Indian dad and a hardworking Red Lobster-managing mom. Do we believe him...? We just don’t know. Sure, Tom mentioned these details in his late night debut on Conan, but he also named himself “HotGuy03” in a singles chatroom in middle school —his story isn't adding up, especially the picture he posted of himself on HotOrNot.com in 9th grade. His alibis include hosting Comedy Central's Stand Up with Tom Thakkar, creating the popular podcast “Stand By Your Band,” and performing at festivals like Just for Laughs, Bridgetown, and Clusterfest. We've been following Tom's every move… Appearing on Doug Loves Movies, in Vice Magazine, as a finalist for NBC Stand Up for Diversity, writing for SyFy's The Movie Show....The evidence is everywhere…..Tom Thakkar really seems to be getting around quite a bit....And we want to know: if he's so successful, why does he have five roommates? And why did he get into an argument with his landlord today about whether the rodent living in his closet is a rat or a mouse? You can see Tom on Comedy Central or find him standing outside of a Chipotle trying to decide if he’s earned it that day.
