Comedian Nimesh Patel “Fast & Loose” Coming to UPH  

SARATOGA SPRINGS —Comedian and Emmy-nominated writer Nimesh Patel announced his 37-city Fast & Loose Tour kicks off in London, U.K., on Sept. 1, and includes a stop at The Great Hall at Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga Springs, on Sunday, Oct. 15. 

Patel, named as one of Variety’s prestigious “10 Comics To Watch” of 2023, has charted a path from sold out comedy clubs to major theaters. His most recent self-produced special “Lucky Lefty” about his experience having testicular cancer “for three business days” is his third in the past two years. 

His first writing job came after Chris Rock saw him perform standup and hired him directly to write for The Academy Awards in 2016 and tour with him. Since then, he has written for “Saturday Night Live,” “A Little Late with Lilly Singh,” The White House Correspondents Dinner, and was a producer for “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.” 

General on-sale begins on Friday, June 16 at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.com.
