He has spent what seemed a lifetime performing stand-up at clubs and colleges throughout the country. Acting work includes both on-camera and voiceover.
His written work includes a trilogy of humor books highlighting the rivalry between Boston Red Sox fans and those of the New York Yankees, including “How to Talk to a Yankee Fan” and “Red Sox University.” The third installment (“Red Sox Fans are From Mars, Yankees Fans are From Uranus”) became a Boston Globe bestseller in 2012. These led to his page for Yahoo! Sports online magazine The PostGame (“Wasif’s World”) focused on humorous commentary and athlete feature stories. His Amazon Author’s Page also houses such books as “Hollywood Primer: Everything You Need to Know Before Moving to Los Angeles”, a comically observant and honest look at what it is truly like to live in Los Angeles; two books of essays that include “Don’t Talk Sports at the Dinner Table ” and “Will Beg for Dignity;” and the humor book, “Adult Puberty: Your Wondrous Journey into the Cluster** that is Middle Age” based on his short film, “Adult Puberty,” a parody of sex education videos from the 1960s starring award-winning actor Barry Bostwick.
His screenwriting and fictional short stories have received multiple awards . He had many works published in hard copy media and popular online sites. His latest project is “A Flight of Comedy,” a solo stage show containing a selection of his short films, stand-up comedy, and sketches, that debuts this June 2023 at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
