Questions people ask
Who is Akaash Singh?
Akaash Singh is a touring stand-up comedian, podcaster and actor from Dallas, Texas. He co-created Flagrant with his friend Andrew Schulz, per his own bio, and was one of its hosts for almost nine years. Before that he was seen on MTV’s Guy Code and Wild ’N Out, Netflix’s Brown Nation and HBO’s The Leftovers, per a BroadwayWorld club listing from April 2023. He self-releases his specials on YouTube, where he has about 2.2 million subscribers.
Is Akaash Singh still on Flagrant?
No. As of October 2026 he is no longer a host. Andrew Schulz announced his exit at the top of the episode released May 6, 2026 (#703), which opens with a segment the show’s notes call “We address it + Our fav memories.” Flagrant’s podcast feed now describes the show as hosted by Andrew Schulz, AlexxMedia and Mark Gagnon, and no episode notes since then have named Akaash.
Why did Akaash Singh leave Flagrant? What happened?
The only explanation on the record is the one Schulz gave at the top of the May 6, 2026 episode (#703): Akaash had decided to step away from the podcast and put his energy into stand-up, and the choice was his. Akaash was not on that segment, and as of October 2026 he has not explained the move in his own words in anything we could source. His exit came a few weeks after he played Radio City Music Hall on April 18, 2026, a show Flagrant’s own episode notes marked as sold out.
What happened between Akaash Singh and Andrew Schulz?
On the record, a long partnership and a friendly exit. Akaash told RVA Mag in February 2022 that the two started the show, then called Flagrant 2, around September 2017 with a lot of sports talk, and that its audience tripled in the first year of the pandemic. When Schulz announced the exit on episode #703 in May 2026, he spoke warmly about Akaash and pointed listeners to his stand-up tour. We found no reported falling out between them in major or trade press.
Why is Akaash Singh trending? Is he cancelled?
Most of the 2026 attention is his Flagrant exit, covered above. We found no report in major or trade press of him being cancelled, dropped by a venue or pulling tour dates, and on April 18, 2026 he headlined Radio City Music Hall in New York.
Is Akaash Singh on tour? Where can I get tickets?
Yes. His tour page lists the Generational Triumph Tour 2026 with ticket links, and his shop is taking pre-orders on a Generational Triumph vinyl. His TikTok bio also points to akaashsingh.com for tickets.
What movies and TV shows has Akaash Singh been in?
On TV he was part of MTV’s Guy Code and Wild ’N Out, Netflix’s Brown Nation and HBO’s The Leftovers, per BroadwayWorld. His stand-up specials are self-released: Bring Back Apu, which went up on YouTube on February 2, 2022 per RVA Mag and passed a million views in its first week per BroadwayWorld; The Crowdwork Special about a month later; and the hour Gaslit, released in March 2024 per his bio.
How old is Akaash Singh? What is his real name?
He has not published a birth date that we could source, so we do not list an age. He performs as Akaash Singh, and no other name has been published by him or by major press.
What about Akaash Singh’s family, faith, health or personal life?
Not something we cover.
Where can I watch Akaash Singh?
Crowd work and stand-up clips on TikTok @akaashsinghcomedy and Instagram @akaashsingh; full specials, including Gaslit, on YouTube @akaashsinghcomedy. His years on Flagrant, from 2017 until his May 2026 exit, are in the show’s podcast feed and on its YouTube channel. Tour dates are on akaashsingh.com.
What is Akaash Singh’s net worth?
He does not publish a number and neither do we.
Who represents Akaash Singh?
His contact page lists United Talent Agency for booking, with a UTA team email, and his TikTok bio gives the same address for media and booking. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking why he left Flagrant, and the answer that exists is on the record. If that changes, this entry will say so.
Our read
Ames Create does not work with Akaash Singh. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. Two formats that fed each other for almost nine years: a weekly hang on Flagrant where he played the regular voice across the table from Schulz, and crowd work on the road, cut into short clips. The crowd work does the heavy lifting now, since every show produces new material that no one has seen.
Why it travels. A crowd work exchange is a finished clip with a setup, a stranger and a payoff, and his TikTok has about 2.3 million followers and more than a thousand posts built on that. Self-releasing specials on YouTube instead of waiting for a network let the Flagrant audience find a full hour for free, which is how a club comic ends up selling out Radio City.
Brand fit. Live comedy is the product: ticketing, venues, podcast and men’s lifestyle sponsors that already sit around the Flagrant world. His material is unfiltered and built on roasting the room, so family brands and tightly scripted reads are a harder fit. A brand that wants him should expect the clip to be about the crowd, not the product.
