Samson was born and raised in Mumbai. Growing up Jewish in Mumbai was more perplexing to those around him than Samson himself. With a Masters degree in Computer Software, he moved to San Francisco to work in IT, before taking the plunge in the field of Standup. As a First generation Indian Jewish guy with zero historical knowledge of American Standup, Samson brings a refreshingly new approach to cerebral, witty, thought-provoking humour with a global perspective. Being an Indian Jew in America has only added to the anomaly that is Samson. His comedy is socially aware and is driven by his personal trials and tribulations. He highlights religious, political, social and traditional hypocrisies and issues, and shares his views on day to day absurdities of the human nature. With his clean approach to comedy he is able to perform just as easily at clubs and theaters as he is at corporations, colleges, fundraisers and speaking engagements.

In May 2009 he launched Comedy Off Broadway Oakland, a weekly comedy show featuring some of the best comedians in San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. The show started with Friday nights, adding Thursdays & Saturdays eventually to make this one of the most successful running shows in the Bay Area. In April 2010 he launched the Mahatma Moses Comedy Tour which premiered with 2 sold-out shows in San Francisco. The tour has performed 17 shows all over U.S.A. In November 2010 Samson joined the Funatical Comedy Tour - Taking Comedy To The Extreme as a featured performer and has performed in shows in U.S. and Canada. In November 2011 he launched his newest show The Minorities Stand Up.

He has helped raise funds for various causes - educational, disaster relief and more; has performed for Tiecon, Singapore Airlines, HP, Intel, IIT, Stanford, Syracuse, JCCs & Muslim Community Association; and has performed in India, Canada and all over U.S. He won the 2010 Asian American Theater Company Comedy Competition and has been featured on Wharf Room All Stars Vol 1 CD, Asian Jewish Life Magazine, Indian Express, CBS and NPR.
