Profit & Loss | Stand Up Comedy by Manik Mahna

About this Video

Manik Mahna tackles the intersection of personal ambition and societal expectations in "Profit & Loss," a ten-minute deadpan comedy routine that showcases his self-deprecating style. Part of a broader three-part series exploring how fear-based social conditioning shapes life's major decisions at the expense of individual identity, the set examines the tension between what we want and what society tells us we should want. Mahna's delivery leans into the absurdity of this internal conflict, using humor to highlight how institutional pressures subtly erode our autonomy and authentic selves.
