Kabir Singh made an expansive career post 'AGT'

Over the years, Kabir has included the concept of multicultural society in his stand-up shows, as he was born into an Indian-American household. He grew up in Fremont, California, and started pursuing his love of humor in college, according to his obituary on Merradon.

Among the other projects that Kabir has been credited with was Comedy Central's 'Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution'. He appeared in series like 'StaannDUP!' and 'Reza Rifts', according to his IMDb biography.

After he moved to Los Angeles, Kabir turned to comedy full-time. He used a combination of cultural criticism, stories, and observational humor to make people laugh during his shows at venues like Hollywood Improv. He performed in events such as 'Just For Laughs', according to his obituary.

In the midst of all of this, he gradually broadened his career on various platforms and even collaborated with comedians. With almost 10,000 followers, Kabir was also active on Instagram, sharing content about forthcoming performances in various locations.

On November 3, he gave his final performance at the Deaf Puppies Comedy Club.
