Who Inder Manocha is
Inder Manocha is a British-Indian stand-up comedian and actor who came to comedy by one of the longer routes on the circuit: born in London in 1968, he read Modern History at Jesus College, Oxford, and worked in international relations and as a therapist before turning professional in 2001. Three years later he won the EMMA Award for Best Comedy/Comedian. On radio he has appeared on BBC Radio 4's Freudian Slips and Radio 5's Beyond Belief, and on screen his credits run from the BBC's Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee and Holby City to playing Anwar's dad in E4's Skins and parts in the films Filth and Wisdom and The Blue Tower.
