What’s up, everybody? This is Amish Patel 
and you’re watching MAD.  

0:04

Okay? Monster Artist Development (MAD)

0:05

I’m saying it like it’s the emotion,
like “mad” but it’s actually an acronym for  

0:10

developing artist you could say it’s the opposite of being mad.
It’s very joyful

We’re here at the Bollywood Monster Mashup Festival, Celebration Square celebrations, where it’s 
packed it’s hot it’s gorgeous and I’m so proud to  

0:26

be part of it. One of the things you find out as a 
comic is that everyone’s got five minutes when you  

0:35

can get to 10, 20, 30, that’s the sign of a pro you 
know what I’m saying. It’s almost less about  

0:41

how good your five minutes is a lot of times 
you’ll do a show with a pro, a new person with  

0:45

a pro if everyone does 5-10 minutes you might not 
be able tell the difference the pro almost a big  

0:49

part of their thing comes in when they can do that 
sustain it 20 minutes, 30 minutes if I got to do 45  

0:54

minutes even now I sweat, I got to think about it 
I gotta like talk to people about  

0:58

it I gotta write down my set. I think the toughest 
thing is we live in this culture that’s that wants  

1:03

you to be good at things from day one and when I 
started I was not very good you know there was a  

1:08

little bit of budding talent there but it’s been a 
good five-six years and MonsterARTity has given  

1:13

me the ability to make those mistakes without 
saying like, “you’re done get out of here”.  

1:18

It’s always been kind of taken in that attitude 
of artists development and we’re seeing it pay off!  

1:25

My mom cries for kids, my mom is like,
“Amish, I have nothing, because you won’t have kids

1:31

I have nothing!” This is what she says, she’s like
“the Patel family name will die!”

1:38

Patel… there’s a billion Patel’s how many do we… guys we’re doing great our numbers are strong let’s give some white people  

1:48

a chance you know?
You know how hard it is to have kids with your parents harassing you all the time?

1:54

They are not even having kids! This is how 
she explained to me she’s like look mommy down  

1:57

at the top okay we get married three kids you 
guys get married more kids they’ll get married  

2:02

even more kids – and I was like mom this whole 
life is a pyramid scheme it’s a PONZI SCHEME!

2:06

[applause]

2:10

I think the name of my first special is 
going to be the meaning of life and it  

2:15

will stem from all these issues of my parents 
I said this on stage they’re obsessed with me  

2:20

having kids and they don’t even know we’re 
doing here it’s it’s very interesting like  

2:23

we all have this instinct to be alive and 
to keep going through it but we don’t even  

2:27

know. It’s almost like tag go you 
have to do it. That’s kind of what my comedy  

2:32

is becoming about is meaning of life and then 
just like falling in love a lot of dating stuff

2:39

[Music]

2:45

[Laughter]

2:46

(groans) I’m going bald

2:48

…

2:50

let’s talk about myself now, yeah going bald it’s 
rough this is what it’s good now I don’t care  

2:57

but for a while (applause) thank you THANK YOU okay okay yeah 
for a while though I had to keep the hair   

3:05

cuz I was acting on this kids TV show so that I couldn’t 
shave it I started and then they’re like you can’t  

3:09

shave it so it’s getting thin and it’s getting to 
the point where you can just see right through it  

3:13

so it’s [ __ ] right but this is how a nice girls 
are I went home with this girl I was wearing a hat  

3:18

I went home with her and I took the hat off and 
it was like that thin hair and she’s like,

3:23

“ew” (shudders)
like she did that, she’s like “ew” right 
but this how good she saved it. I took it off, she’s like  

3:27

“ew”
and then she said, “I like your shoulders”
[Laughter]

3:32

I’m a father of three on television. The first thing people ask me is
am I doing voiceovers?

3:39

no no, it’s me live-action, sitcom it was a

3:42

dream what a great show to work on.
I got good kid bits. I call them kid bits.

3:47

Like, I’ll pretend to get mad at a kid and I’ll 
just be like, “Hey! watch it!” and they just love that. 

3:55

It’s just a little kid bit just 
get mad at them over nothing you just get mad at  

3:58

them and they love to play this and then they get 
defined and it’s like a fun little game this is a  

4:02

funny story actually I told my mom I was like hey 
they applied for me to get an Emmy for the show  

4:06

And she’s like, “Emmy? What is that? Like, do they pay you for that? You’re gonna get money out of this Emmy?  

4:11

And then I had to explain to her that like, 
“no you actually have to pay $400 to go and you  

4:16

gotta fly their hotel suit super expensive it’s 
probably gonna if I get the nomination I go it’s  

4:21

probably like five thousand dollars and she’s like 
you know what just don’t tell me about this [ __ ]
[Amish laughs]
