Through a variety of interviews and social media posts, popular comedian and actor Kumail Nanjiani frequently offers his insights into the life of a performer. He draws attention to the difficulties of performing stand-up comedy and being in the spotlight.

Imagine displaying a sign on a busy street corner asking passersby to comment on your attire or your performance as a street artist. Imagine now that everyone feels free to offer unsolicited advice and criticism in addition to comments. This is comparable to the experience of comedians who interact with the public on websites like YouTube.

As Nanjiani notes, it's easy to get caught up in the habit of continuously viewing and reading the comments made on one's own videos. Some remarks may be encouraging, but others may be critical or even malicious. Over time, the performer may become worn down by this continuous interaction with an audience that expects you to accommodate all viewpoints.

Furthermore, Nanjiani notes that a lot of people believe that anyone can perform stand-up comedy just because they have an opinion or find anything funny. As a result, everyone feels qualified to evaluate and critique the work of experts in the field without necessarily being aware of all the subtleties involved.

By expressing these ideas, Nanjiani hopes to serve as a reminder to artists and performers that while not everyone will find their work appealing, it's important to stay true to oneself and keep making art in spite of the criticism. His remarks serve as a reminder to strike a balance between interacting with an audience and continuing to prioritize one's own development and artistic integrity.
