Ankur Patel is a student at the iO writing program. He got started in comedy initially at the Second City when he moved back to Chicago to become a consultant. Unlike most that discover they were funny as kids, He accidentally wrote his first lines of comedy while writing a medieval morality play. If you are wondering, sloth is by far the funniest deadly sin. Ever since then, he has wanted to write funny things, and when possible, on purpose!

He was on Michael McCathy's Comedy Lab. Podcast Tall tales, Hollywood stories and the business and art of comedy writing gather at this virtual bar/podcast full of friends and contacts of Michael McCarthy, Howard Johnson, and Ankur Patel. Michael, Howard, and Ankur dissect all aspects of comedy writing from process to networking. Michael and Howard bring unique perspectives of having built long and distinguished careers in TV comedy writing, and Ankur musters only naïveté and enthusiasm… and debt, an alarming almost crushing amount of debt.
