Neel Nanda, a stand-up comedian who appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and Comedy Central, has died. He was 32.
Nanda's manager, Greg Weiss, confirmed his death in an email to USA TODAY on Sunday.
"My client of over 11 years has passed," Weiss said. "Neel was not (only a) great comic (but) a good friend and a fantastic human being."
A date or cause of death was not immediately known.
Nanda first appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in 2017 for a five-minute, on-air set. The comedian has appeared on Comedy Central multiple times, including on "Adam Devine's House Party" and most recently for "Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents" in January.
The writer and actor is credited as a producer in the internet comedy horror series "Garland: Anthology." Nanda appeared on the Snapchat original series "Apocalypse Goals" for two episodes in 2020 and starred in the 2019 comedy horror film "Deep Murder."
According to his biography on IMDB, Nanda got his start performing stand-up in Atlanta. He moved to Los Angeles in 2013 and eventually appeared on various networks, including Comedy Central, MTV, Viceland, IFC, Hulu and Amazon Prime. His Los Angeles show "Unnecessary Evil" was named one of LA Weekly's top 10 stand-up shows.
The comedian had two shows in Toronto set around his birthday earlier this month, according to his website.
Baltimore comedy club The Port shared a tribute to Nanda in an Instagram post on Saturday.
"It is with a very heavy heart we say good bye to comedy great," the club captioned a photo of Nanda performing. "Absolutely shocked by the news. Such a positive force for comedy and a huge loss to our community. Rest in Peace Neel. Thank you for gracing our stage and piano, a great headliner, gone too soon."
Matt Rife paid tribute to Nanda in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday, calling his fellow comedian "one of the nicest" people in the industry.
