The Comedy Hole: English Standup in Europe7 Jul 2023

Maneesh Sethi: CEO of Pavlok

This week, Ariel (@arielbialski) and Jordan (@jordanthomasgray) are joined by Pavlok CEO, viral hacker, and budding standup comedian Maneesh Sethi (@maneesh) to talk about open mics, Maneesh's Shark Tank appearance, Jordan's worst comedy song ("I Can't Stop Watching YouTube"), and the nuances of joke theft. Yes, Jordan and Ariel fight again in this one!

Maneesh Sethi is an American entrepreneur and CEO of Pavlok, a wearable device that shocks the user to achieve desirable behavioral changes. Pavlok was featured in the 2022 Neil Brennan Netflix standup special "Blocks." Maneesh has been in the public eye numerous times, including that time he hired a woman to follow him around and slap him in the face whenever he stopped writing, that time he became a famous DJ in under 90 days using viral growth hacks, and also that time in 2022 when he turned down a $500k investment deal on the American TV show Shark Tank.
