Eshaan Akbar is a truly multi-faceted talent, bringing a wealth of experience from his varied career to the stage. As an English comedian, writer, and actor of Pakistani and Bangladeshi ancestry, he has forged a unique path through the entertainment world. Before becoming a prominent figure in comedy, Eshaan worked in wealth management and at a number of charities and even had a stint as a Bollywood dance choreographer.

Since then, he has gone on to support some of the biggest names in comedy, including Micky Flanagan, Dane Baptiste, and Jason Manford. Eshaan's television credits are just as impressive, with appearances on shows like Live At The Apollo, Mock the Week, and QI, along with starring as Principal Lakhani in season four of the Netflix series Sex Education.
