Live In Baltimore

Walking through manicured white neighborhoods, Khan treats residents like wild bears. They share similar interests (hiking, fishing, raw honey) and spook easily when startled, so to keep everyone calm he claps his hands and loudly announces harmless phrases about coconut water.

Live in Baltimore captured Khan in 2019 after roughly eight years working clubs across Maryland and Washington, D.C., frequently featuring for touring headliners like Hari Kondabolu and Todd Barry. By day, he worked as a Baltimore public school psychologist, a job that gave him material about childhood anxieties and blunt kids on the spectrum offering unvarnished life advice to bullied classmates.

Filmed in his hometown and released through Comedy Dynamics, the 44-minute debut leans heavily into the friction of local dating and demographic shifts in neighborhoods like Hampden. He points out that daytime coffee dates are a trap because nobody wants to grow increasingly alert as an awkward conversation unfolds, while charcuterie boards are just adult Lunchables marketed to newcomers in gentrified blocks. He also reflects on getting booked for a predominantly Black room after years in front of white indie audiences, discovering firsthand how quickly local stage confidence vanishes when the room dynamic flips.
