From the valleys of Kashmir to the stages of India, Samay Raina turned his childhood observations into a comedy revolution.
Co-winner of Comicstaan Season 2, he didn't stop there. When the world locked down, he picked up a chessboard and sparked a streaming phenomenon.
Today, he's not just a comedian—he's a chess evangelist, the host of India's Got Latent, and the unofficial king of controlled chaos.
"Comedy is just chess with words — you're always three moves ahead."
— Samay Raina
