Chicago comedy aficionados will recognize the name Kumail Nanjiani and giddily anticipate his homecoming. But if you missed his formative Empty Bottle gigs or his acclaimed Unpronounceable performance at the Lakeshore, chances are you've seen Nanjiani's work on Comedy Central since he sprang coastal. Whether it's his recurring role as Homer (not Omar), the prisoner Stephen Colbert keeps under his desk Gitmo-style, or recent appearances on Michael & Michael Have Issues, Nanjiani is a born scene-stealer. His standup is even better: check out his beloved riffs on Shinobi and that bizarre drug cocktail known as "cheese."
