Tak's Blurbs |
About me:
" Saurabh Tak dreams only the most astute stories with complete vulnerability & enough twists & turns to make a hooker on the highway sell pottery. He is as real and honest as a griot ripping phrases of urban living with all its clumsy foibles. Wide-eyed & defiant, Saurabh is a craftsman weaver of plot, he sends one reeling into the delectable Indian Superman of THAT GIRL's Marlo Thomas & a James Bond, a man full of erotic hijinx & new immigrant audacity into the New Century. " --- Regie Cabico, Artistic Director Sol & Soul, NYU Artist in Residence, Nuyorican Poets' Cafe Poetry Grand Slam Winner, HBO Def Poetry Jam.
" Tak is a one-man Hindu-American out-of-body experience. There's so much craft and thoughtfulness and skills with language in his stories, though you may be laughing too hard to notice." --Kelly Cresap, Ph.D., author, storyteller, NPR commentator.
"Just wanna tell you again that I laughed my ass of
your story. Made me think of Sex in the City but with
Krishnamurti doing the writing and the adverstising
executives locked in the closet. You definitely seem
to have a great grasp of New York for having just
moved here. " --- Jim Flynn, www.laughoutny.com
" You absolutely BLEW ME AWAY. Wow, what a
story, what delivery, what stage presence. You exceeded my
expectations even, and I had high expectations for a NYC export....You rock. Thanks again for coming down to share your story with us--what a blast it was listening to you! " --- Stephanie Garibaldi, writer, humorist and a host of Speakeasy DC/Washington Storytellers' Theater
" Something about your matter-of-fact and deadpan way of expressing extraordinary events reminds me strongly of Andrei Codrescu , a Romanian essayist who sometimes has segments on NPR." --- Mike Barbier of Skydivers.
"He's a South Asian cat named Tak and he's really
friggin' good. I saw the guy tell a story at the
AAWW, then he won one of The Moth slams. " -- Rain Noe,
